Biographie
-
was the son of Louis Huette (qv ). One of six children he was trained as an optician by his father from 1802 onwards although this formation was cut short by his father's early death in 1805. In 1819 he became a member of the Société Académique de Nantes to whic he was a faithful and active member throughout his life. Awarded a bronze medal at the 1825 departmental exhibition, Huette was reputed for the quality of his navigation and meteorological instruments. The latter were of special interest to Huette who took on responsability for the meteorologi Ωcal observations at the Observatoire astronomique de la Marine at Nantes (founded 1827). In this he was assiduous until 1870 when his successor Lefièvre (qv ) took over the work.1 Huette was Breguet's agent in Nantes.2
