Footnotes:
Piolaine was a major Paris clockmaker during the last quarter of the 18th and first quarter of the 19th centuries. He became a maître in August 1787, setting up his studio on Rue Ecrivains before moving to Rue Des Gravilliers in 1810. Around 1815 there is no further news of him, but his widow seemed to continue the workshop between 1817 and 1820.
