    This gilt bronze clock, signed by Michelez, a student of Breguet, is an exceptional piece from the Empire period, measuring 43 cm in height. Created while Michelez was still at the beginning of his career under the tutelage of master watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet, it perfectly illustrates the refinement and neoclassical taste of this period.


    This timepiece adopts an unusual form that immediately captures the eye. Its round dial, adorned with a finely chiseled frieze, highlights Michelez's prestigious signature, emphasizing the importance of his apprenticeship with Breguet. The decoration of the base and stem is richly symbolic: a raised library filled with books evokes knowledge and culture, while an elegant draped female figure, holding a book in her hand, embodies knowledge and inspiration.


    The entire piece rests on a finely sculpted base adorned with classical motifs such as cherubs and garlands, demonstrating exquisite chiseling. This clock, both a clock and an object of art, illustrates Michelez's burgeoning talent and the influence of Breguet on his approach to watchmaking and aesthetics.
