Versailles
The Palace of Versailles was constructed during the reign of Louis XIV on the outskirts of Paris. Such is its grandiosity and majesty that still today it continues to impress and astonish the millions of people that visit it each year. The Dutch physicist Christian Huygens was the inventor of wave theory and pendular movement applied to clock making. He worked in Paris (1666-1681) on the invitation of Louis XIV, who much admired his creations. This collection piece, in Rococo style and called Versailles for its 24- carat gold decorations, stands out for its majesty and the rhythm imposed by the pendulum.
