專家說明

Paul Philip Barrauds was the grandson of the Huguenot silversmith, Paul Crespin. Working from Cornhill, London, he is known for his high quality precision work, particularly his chronometers. He became free of the Clockmakers' Company in 1796 and was elected master twice, in 1810 and 1811. He also partnered with William Howells and George Jamison when making Thomas Mudge's timekeepers.
