The firm of 'L. Leroy & Cie' can be traced back to 1785 when the business was founded by Basille-Charles Le Roy at 60 Galerie de Pierre, Palais Royal, Paris. He was a clockmaker to the Emperor Napoleon, The Duke of Orleans, The Duke of Bourbon and Princess Pauline. In 1828 Basille-Charles died leaving the business to his son, Charles-Louis, who continued producing clocks signed 'Le Roy & Fils'. Charles’ descendants had no interest in clockmaking and in 1845 the firm was sold to one of his former employees, Casimir Halley Desfontaines (who in turn was succeeded by his son George Halley Desfontaines in 1883) with the proviso that the name would continue for at least two generations. In 1854 “Le Roy & Sons” was set up in London and was officially appointed Watchmaker to Queen Victoria in 1863. The firm had acquired 211 Regent Street sometime prior to 1866, and by 1875 had also acquired 213 Regent Street. By 1885, the firm had moved to Bond Street. In 1888 George Halley died leaving the business to his brother Jules Halley who took-in as a partner Louis Leroy (no relation to the founders of the firm). Louis Leroy took over the business one year later, changing the name to “L.Leroy & Cie, ancienne maison Le Roy & Fils”. From 1895 onwards, the company archives only refer to the name “L.Leroy & Cie”.
