Biographie
-
Naze trained as a clockmaker in Creil c. 1545. By 1553 he was working in Lyon where in that year he signed an astrolabe. His horological production ranged from simple domestic clocks and watches to complex astronomical machines. Both he and his wife died of the plague. They bequeathed their possessions verbally to the poor of the Hôtel-Dieu and the Aumônerie Générale, the directors of which body after some ten years of discussion with Naze's family in the Beavaisis and of organisation organised a lottery of the remaining goods for the benefit of the named charities. This took place in 1592 when 15 items, one of which was an astrolabe (but with three plates - that of 1553 has four) were sold for a total of 1568 écus. Among the items thus dispersed were three cosmological clocks; two other such clocks and an astrolabe clock are known among the surviving works of Naze (1).
