Esquivillon & De Choudens were active in Geneva and Paris between 1765 and 1830. The Geneva watchmaker Jacques Dechoudens (1728-1801) founded a workshop with brothers Joseph Esquivillon (1714-1798), Jean François Esquivillon (1) (1733-1813) and Gédéon-François Esquivillon (1717-1799), who produced high-quality verge pocket watches. The company was specialized in figure automatons and musical watches.
