This gilt-bronze "pendule d'officier" (officer's clock) was crafted by the firm of Meuron et Companie in Geneva and Paris between 1795 and 1805. The clock features a classic round face with Roman numeral markings and a delicate, ornate design. The top of the clock is adorned with a loop handle and intricate floral motifs, characteristic of the Neoclassical style popular during this period. This small clock would have been a coveted object, reflecting the elegance and refinement of the time.
