The dial of this charming pendule d'officier is signed by possibly the most famous enameller of his day, Joseph Coteau (1740-1812), who supplied dials for the greatest clockmakers of France. Born in Geneva, he became maître-peintre-émailleur at the Académie de Saint-Luc in 1766. By 1772 he was installed in rue Poupée in Paris.
