Jean-Baptiste Baillon, maître horloger in 1727.

Jean-Baptiste Baillon's career continued almost up to his death in 1772 and after being appointed Horloger Ordinaire de la Reine to Marie Leszczyńska in 1738 he ammassed both renown and riches before his appointment as Horloger Ordinaire de la Dauphine to Marie-Antoinette in 1770.
