Gilt bronze and chased clock decorated with Venus on her chariot pulled by a pair of doves. She is joined in the clouds by her son Amour holding a helmet in his hand. The white enameled dial with Arabic numerals and openworked hands is signed "Levol à Paris". The plate is signed Planchon. The figures rest on an oval white marble base decorated with gilded bronzes of garlands of flowers and ribbons in the Louis XVI style. There are also two urns carved in marble, decorated with flowers and topped with flames. The clock is supported by four small gilt bronze feet. The mechanism is signed "Planchon Paris".

Mathieu PLANCHON (1842-1921) est un horloger, historien et théoricien de l’horlogerie. Il s’installe à Paris, au Palais-Royal, dans les années 1870. Il a également travaillé avec Jean E. ROBERT-HOUDIN, célèbre horloger et fabricant d’automates avant de devenir un célèbre illusionniste. Il étudie les systèmes de "Pendules Mystérieuses" et son travail sera suivi par Maurice Couet qui assurera la création de ces célèbres pendules mystérieuses pour le célèbre joailler CARTIER. Planchon reconstituera également l’horloge que donna Viollet-Le-Duc ainsi que l’horloge monumentale de Jean Fusoris pour la cathédrale de Bourges dans son Dictionnaire du Mobilier.
