The maker Charles Frédéric Klentschi was born in 1774 and died in 1854. He is a notable maker and ran a horological school with Maillardet from about 1814. One of his pupils at the school was Fritz Courvoisier who has produced a number of clocks with similar strike work mounted on the backplate. Klentschi also worked for the Courvoisier family.
