Description

The Montjoye family were amongst the foremost clockmakers in Paris working between 1730 - 1815.  Based in the Rue Dauphine, they gained immediate recognition among Parisian connoisseurs of fine horology and they worked for many of the important merchants of the time, such as Dominique Daguerre. They collaborated with remarkable artisans including Charles Cressent, Jean-Joseph de Saint-Germain and the Osmond family of bronze casters.
