Probably the same person that was a watchmaker in Copenhagen. An auction in Copenhaguen says he was born and died the same year.

Mod slutningen af det 18. århundrede har den danske spilleursindustri haft vanskeligt ved at hævde sig, konkurrencen udefra blev efterhånden stærkere og stærkere, De spilleure, som fremstilledes på Danmarks første større urfabrik, en fabrik der i 1781 oprettedes af den franske urmager Isaac Larpent i fællesskab med Jørgen Jørgensen – eller Jürgensen, som han senere kaldte sig, må betragtes som et sidste forsøg på at tilbageerobre det danske marked(22) ; allerede på den tid var udenlandske spilleure, mest Wienerure, hyppigt i handelen herhjemme.

ISAAC LARPENT was born 29 may 1711 -died 6 july 1788.
He was the son of a french wig-maker (Pierre Larpent).
Isaac`s parents moved to Bergen (Norway) in 1711 (because of the plague),were Isaac was born. When his father died in 1720 , mother and son moved to Copenhagen. At age 12 he started his training as a watchmaker with Isaac Beaupoil. His training lasted 8 years , and he bacame a master in 1745. He had two sons (Pierre Antoine b.1760 and Isaac b 1761).
Isaac Larpent and Jorgen jurgensen founded the company Larpent & Jurgensen in 1773.
Larpent produced watches before he joined with Jurgensen. I would guess ca 150 time-pieces. There is a picture of s Isaac Larpent pocket watch no 104(1755) in the new Jurgensen book by John Knudsen(were i got this information). A english version of this book is on the way.
