*Charles Oudin:
is one of the oldest French watchmaking houses. It was founded at the end of the 18th century in Paris by Jean-Charles (known as Charles) Oudin, who came from a family of watchmakers originally from northeastern France. Four generations of Oudins practiced the profession from the mid-18th century, first in the Meuse region and then in Paris. Several of them worked for master watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet. Setting up on his own at the end of the 18th century, Charles Oudin - the best-known member of this watchmaking dynasty - devoted himself to luxury and precision watchmaking. The first watches signed "Charles Oudin, élève de Breguet" date from 1797. In 1805, he created a "tact repeater watch" for Empress Josephine. His participation in the major exhibitions of the time was noted: at the 1806 Exposition des produits de l'industrie française, he received an Honorable Mention for an automatic winding watch, and at the 1819 Exposition des produits de l'industrie française, a Citation for an equation watch.
