Charles Oudin trained under the greatest watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet in the late 18th century in Paris. Establishing his own business at the turn of the century, he supplied clocks and watches of the highest quality. Occasionally referencing the great master, his work is sometimes found with his signature and then an homage élève de Breguet. The two firms evidently continued a close relationship, as found here, with Oudin using the push/repeat work of a Breguet watch to incorporate into this top-end engraved carriage clock.
Together with a leather travelling case.
The clock appears to have been recently restored and the case regilded, the movement cleaned and oiled. It ticks and the repeat and alarm function.
