Jean-Gabriel Imbert (1735-1795) was established at Carrefour de la Roquette in 1767, rue Planche-Mibray in 1781, rue des Arcis in 1784 and rue de Monceau in 1795. He used clock cases by J. Goyer, N. Bonnet, F. Vion, Duhamel and the Osmonds, some of which were gilded by Le Cat and H. Martin. His springs were supplied by Richard and Monginot and his dials by Bezelle, Merlet and Barbezat.
