Illustr ated by Emanuel Breguet in his book Breguet Hortoger 1747-1823, this clock was sold by Antiduorum on April 14th 1989, catalogue: The Art of Breguet, lot No. 10. A similar clock No. 2496 was sold to The Queen of Napoli on 16 December 1809, for 1400 Francs. As already mentionned in the note made for the clock bought by Bonaparte in 1798 (see above) this type of clock was to become the standard pattern for the modern carriage clocks. They were described in the original records of Breguet as " Pendules a Almanach". Between the first series of three including No. 178, sold to Bonaparte and the clock now offered for sale only two other were made: - No. 2426 sold to Prince Don Antonio (Crown Prince of Spain) a Valencay, le 29 mars 1809, pour 2000 Francs. - No. 2158 solcl to Maison dc Russie pour le Comte R. Zevawsky pour 3600 Francs. All the other travelling clocks, including those so called "A Quatre Parties" (going tr ain, striking train, repeating train and alarm train) were made in mahogany. Most of the other °Pendules a Almanach " were produced by Breguet alter 1815. Prince Camillo Borghese Aldobrandini (1775-1832) Prince Camillo Borghese Aldobrandini, was the son of Marcantonio IV (1730-1800), a great protector of the arts who had extensively restored and embellished Villa Pinciana, among other family property as well as creating the hippodrome of Piazza di Siena and the Gabino Museum. Camillo was open to the new liberal ideas of the time and moved to France where, in 1803, he married Paolina Bonaparte, widow of General Leclerc. He served under Napoleon, becoming Brigade General. First Duke of Guastalla, then Dignitary of the Empire, he became Governor of the French Departments in Italy, Piedmont and Genova areas, establishing residence and court in Turin. However, he did not escape being used by his brother-inlaw and Emperor, Napoleon, who, with the pretext of an imminent attack from the English Fleet in Rome, forced or obliged Camillo to sell him the works of art from Villa Pinciana, including the Gabino Museum, for the Imperial Museum. Later, after the fall of Napoleon, Camillo did not manage to regain his lost works of art and compensated by embellishing his villa in Rome, extending it as far as the Porta del Popolo. Camillo died in Florence, without heirs and was succeeded by his brother Francesco (1776-1839) who had also been at the French Court of Napoleon, as General. At his brother 's death, Francesco inherited the titles including that of Duke Salviati and to avoid any possible extinction of the three illustrious family names, he gave the titles to his three sons, the elder, Prince Borghese, the second in line, Prince Aldobrandini and the third Duke Salviati. Thence the titles were handed down and, in reality, the three great families of Rome are all part of one great family, the Borghese. Originally from Siena, the Borghese are recorded in Rome from the beginning of the 16th century. However, it was only when Marcantonio Borghese (1504-74), around the mid-16th century, definitely moved from Siena to Rome that the Roman branch of the Borghese really took root. Marcantonio married Flaminia Astalli, from an old Roman family, with whom he had seven sons; his elder son Camillo became Pope, taking the name of Paolo V (v.; 1605-21), which positioned the family at the top of Roman society. From then until the end of the 19th century the Borghese would live in great splendour and magnificence. Pope Paolo V looked after the education and prosperity of his brother's son, Marcantonio (1598-1658), the only one who could assure the continuity of the Borghese family. Pope Paolo V obtained for his nephew Marcantonio various titles and property and in 1619 arranged his wedding into the Orsini family. Marcantonio therefore inherited all, including the Pope's private wealth, becoming the greatest landowner of the Lazio, wealthier than the two other highly regarded Roman families, the Orsini and the Colonna. Moreover, Marcantonio ' s son, Paolo (1725-46), who died before his father, married Olimpia, the only Aldobrandini heir, hence increasing further the wealth of the Borghese family. Then followed Marcantonio III (1660-1729), who was also Viceroy of Naples, to whom succeeded his nephew Marcantonio IV (1730-1800), senator under the Roman Republic, and to whom the title of Prince Aldobrandini was recognised in 1769. He was the father of Prince Camillo Borghese Aldobrandini.
