The Nephew of Henri Motel he was apprenticed first to Louis Frédérique Perrelet, 1781-1854), then to Charles Auguste Berthoud, (1798-1826). Having gone back to work with his uncle for a few years he succeeded Victor Gannery who had himself been apprenticed to Perrelet and soon afterwards set up at Saint Nicholas d'Aliermont near Dieppe.
