This impressive clock is inspired by the famous novel by Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (1737-1814) written in 1788 recounting the story of the lovers Paul and Virginie in Mauritius. As an admirer of the author, Emperor Napoleon I commissioned Pierre-Philippe Thomire a clock with this theme as a gift for the writer in 1802.
Let's take note of three comparable clocks: one is housed at the François-Duesberg Museum in Mons, Belgium, a second is from the former collection of Lady Inchyra, Christie's, London, 5 July 2001, lot 235 and a third was sold by the auctioneers Gros and Delettrez at Drouot, on 1st June 2012, lot 201.
