The firm of Naudet, Pertuis & Hulot began to manufacture high quality aneroid barometers and barographs in Paris in 1860, and is still in business today as Naudet. The workshops have been located in Perreux-sur-Marne since 1965. The company’s trademark is the cipher “PNHB”, formed of the initials of the surnames of the company’s founders, Pertuis, Naudet and Hulot, and ‘Baromètres’. Paul Naudet was France’s premier barometer maker of the second half of the 19th century. The company gave its aneroid products the unique label ‘holosteric’ barometers and, over the years, PNHB also came to represent ‘Paul Naudet Baromètres Holostérique’.
