About Honoré Pons
Honoré Pons (1773-1851), was a Parisian clockmaker who set up shop in 1803 and is generally recognized as being most active between the years of 1806-1846. In 1806, Pons was commanded by the Minister of the Interior to reorganise flagging clock industry in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont. He placed a great emphasis on quality and was rightly credited with sector's revival.
Pons timepieces were mostly manufactured in Saint-Nicolas d’Aliermont and then sent to Paris for completion. Pons would manufacture beautiful, accurate timepieces at a fraction of the cost of other makers, due to his precision and self-invented machinery. He is credited with revitalizing the French clockmaking industry after the Revolution.
Clocks by Pons are found in National museum collections. His movements won silver medals in 1819 and 1823 and finally a gold in 1827.
This clock shows the medal for 1827.
Serviced and in good working order with good timekeeping
Clock may need slight adjustment in new setting
