Isaac II Thuret, also referred to by historians as Isaac Thuret (c. 1630s, d. 1706) was a French clockmaker and horologist known for developing the first spring-driven watches in collaboration with Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens. Thuret's role in the invention was obscured by disputes over intellectual credit.
