Notes: This inventory of valuable objects upon the death of a french minister in 1532 is transcribed in the 1868 proceedings of the French society of Antique Dealers. Important document as it is the first record of the french word "montre", which was only recognised by the Academie as a legitimate word in the French language. Although there are no known surviving French watches from the 16th century, this document proves the existing of a french watchmakers trade at that date, as the inventory describes a watch wgich the deceased had had made for himself.
