At the turn of the century, he was a professor at Peking University. In the literature, he is also mentioned as the managing director of the consulate in Chongqing, as an interpreter in Beijing (1911) or as a "diplomat" in France (1940), who had "spent a large part of his working life in China". Hauchecome produced numerous sculptures with Chinese motifs in terracotta and bronze, some with a humorous undertone. He exhibited his works at the Exposition nationale coloniale de Marseille in 1922 and at several salons of the Société nationale des beaux-arts in the 1920s. Some of Hauchecome's bronzes were crafted by the Parisian sculpture foundry Les Neveux de Jules Lehmann, others by the competing Susse Frères. Hauchecome was also a member of La Stèle, a group of artists founded in the 1920s by the Éditeur d'art (art publisher) and sculptor Arthur Goldscheider, whose works Goldscheider exhibited at the 1925 Exposition internationale des Arts Décoratifs et industriels modernes in Paris.
