After nearly a century in business, the Denière company closed its doors and auctioned off its
stock during six sales organized between February and December 1903, and gave the buyer the right to
to replicate the company's models.

The current model, described as a "cage clock", was acquired by François Linke during the
third auction held between October 20 and 22, 1903, which reproduced this model with
success.
