Datei:Hubert Martinet, London, (4).jpg

Martinet, London.
The ormolu base has decorative bun feet, an acanthus leaf molding, and supports the movement on four decorative shaped posts. The well lettered porcelain time dial has Roman numerals for the hours, steel Breguet-style hands for the time and a steel pointer for the alarm. The date dial has Arabic numbers and a steel indicator hand. Both are framed by a silvered dial plate engraved 'Martinet, London'. The extremely well made eight-day movement has thick plates, turned pillars, finely cut and finished wheelwork, a date feature, a crownwheel escapement with silk-thread suspension and a spring driven alarm mechanism that strikes by clapper on a bell located in the base.

Hubert Martinet was a ‘mercier horologer' who had a shop in London, but whose work was almost certainly fabricated in Paris.
