Charles Cabrier, a French watchmaker who emigrated to England after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes and his son, Charles Cabrier II, were both reputed makers. Cabrier began his apprenticeship in 1719, was a member of the Clockmakers’ Company from 1726 on and a master from 1757 until 1772. Until 1759 he had a workshop in 79 Broad Street, near Finsbury Circus, he then moved to Pig Street, which does not exist anymore, near Threadneedle Street. Baillie mentions Charles Cabrier II as a “famous maker”, Britten calls him a “celebrated maker”.
