Forced to abandon Paris he will eventually settle in London, a safe haven for many of those who escaped persecution in France. It is recorded that in 1693 he became a Free Brother at the Clockmaker\u2019s Company and lived in Long Acre, at Saint Anne\u2019s Parish in Soho, one of his known engraved clocks being marked with the address \u201cDean Street, Soho\u201d. Although unconfirmed, it is believed that Duchesne lived up to 1730 and that he had at least one son, Antoine, who became a Freeman at the Goldsmiths' Company. Clocks made by Duchesne can be seen at the China Pavilion at the Palace of Drottningholm in Sweden, at Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen as well as at the British Museum collection.<br \/>\r\n<br
