Biography:
The Swiss scientific instrument maker Bernard François Pasteur moved to Amsterdam in the 1760s. From at least 1767 until 1794 he lived in Amsterdam, where he had a workshop for clocks and physical instruments. In 1786 he repaired astronomical instruments for the Felix Meritis Society. In 1794 he moved to Leiden, probably to become curator of the Theatrum Physicum of Leiden University. In 1793 he became "opziener" of the city clocks of Leiden. Here he lived at the Pieterskerkgracht, 'Over 't Hof'. After his death in 1801, his wife Maria Bra continued the workshop. The remaining inventory was auctioned in 1817.

Biography:
Watch and clockmaker in The Hague. One of the most important clockmakers in the Netherlands in the late seventeenth century (and first master of the Clockmakers' guild in the Hague). In 1646 he started a six year during apprenticeship at Salomon Coster. Then he moved to Middelburg, where he established a clockmaker shop around 1652. In 1660, a year after Coster's death, Visbagh took over the shop from Coster's widow in The Hague. He continued the contract with Costers apprentice Christiaan Reijnaert. Visbagh first rented the house of Coster at the corner of the Wagenstraat and Veerkade and bought it eleven years later. For the next 25 years Visbagh became one of the most important clockmakers of the Netherlands. In 1688 Visbagh became the first master of the Clockmakers' guild in the Hague. He repaired clocks for and worked with Christiaan Huygens (ca. 1690). Probably Visbagh retired well before 1722.

Clock maker from Maastricht. He moved to The Hague in 1675 (first at Het Plein and from 1703 at the Lange Pooten), where he started to make and sell timepieces. Between 1677 and 1684 he worked with Christiaan and Constantijn Huygens, for whom he made a planetarium and some sea clocks (ca. 1682-1684). Several clock makers were apprenticed to Van Ceulen (such as Van der Slot and Mulder), which resulted in a large productivity. Van Ceulen was a warden (1688) and later master of the The Hague clockmakers guild.
