Le cosiddette "pendules d’officier", dette “marescialle” in Italia, comparvero verso la fine del XVIII secolo e furono prodotte fino al 1820 circa. I centri di produzione erano: Svizzera, nella regione del Neuchâtel (specialmente a La Chaux – de – Fonds), ma è possibile che qualche esemplare sia stato costruito anche in Francia, nella vicina Franche-Comté.
La leggenda narra che il generale Bonaparte, particolarmente amante della puntualità, specie durante le campagne militari, avrebbe preteso che tutti i suoi ufficiali avessero in dotazione una Marescialla.
