Raingo Freres began with Zacharie Joseph Raingo ( 1775-1847) a clockmaker born in Belgium in 1775. He specialised in creating astronomical clocks. One of these creations made in 1824 was purchased by King George IV of England and is now housed at Windsor Castle.
The firm Raingo Freres ( incorporating his four sons) began in 1823. They specialised in producing Empire clocks, manufacturing Mantel, Table and Wall mounted clocks.
In the 1860’s the firm supplied several clocks to Emperor Napoleon III and his wife Empress Eugenie which are now in the collection at the Musee Du Louvre.
They became internationally recognised for the quality of their work and exhibited at the most important exhibitions winning a gold medal at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris.

Raingo Frères
The clock-making company Raingo Frères built some of the most remarkable timepieces of the 19th century. Best known for its ornate mantel clocks, the company also masterfully crafted other works, such as candelabras and sculptures. Modeled on Renaissance, Byzantine and Empire styles, the company’s gilded garniture is some of the most recognizable artistic work of the 19th century. It displays the elaborate majesty prevalent in aristocratic and royal homes of the period.
Belgian watchmaker and metalworker Zacharie Raingo was the son of a watchmaker, and he took up the trade in his youth. He lived and worked in Belgium until 1813, when he relocated to Paris. During his time in Belgium, Raingo was inspired by Antide Janvier and developed his own planetary pendulum. In 1810, he patented an astronomical clock, a rotating spherical mechanism designed to emulate the behavior of celestial bodies.
In 1823, he founded Raingo Frères with his four sons, Adolphe, Charles, Denis and Dorsant. Established as both an industrial and commercial venture, the company quickly gained notoriety for its bronze work in addition to its fame as a clockmaker. It created works for an array of nobility and royalty, like the Duke of Chartres, King George V of England and Emperor Napoleon III of France, whose collection is now at the Louvre museum in Paris.
The company exhibited its works in the 1867, 1878 and 1889 World’s Fairs in Paris, winning numerous prizes, including a gold medal in 1889. Many museums and private collections boast works by Raingo Frères, including the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris and the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels.
