Jean-Louis Bouchet, Horloger du Roi at the Chateaux de Bellevue, 1769.

The C couronné poinçon was a tax mark in use between March 1745 and February 1749 on any alloy containing copper.

The Goyer family specialised in clockcases and Jean Goyer (maître in 1760) and his father François (d.1763) continued the tradition. Jean Goyer was the brother-in-law of René Dubois and they had close ties - their most celebrated collaboration was the monumental secretaire at Waddesdon (G. de Bellaigue, The James A. de Rothschild Collection at Waddesdon Manor, London, 1974, vo.I, no.66).
