Clocks by Pons are found in National museum collections.

nformation about the maker
Movement signed by the important maker Honoré Pons. 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. His own movements were the best and won silver medals in 1819 and 1823 and finally a gold in 1827.
This clock only shows the medal for 1823 so was made between then and 1827.
