Auguste-Lucien Vérité (21 October 1806 – 19 July 1887) was a French clockmaker, the creator of the Besançon astronomical clock[1] and the Beauvais astronomical clock.[2]

Vérité also did pioneering work on clock synchronisation. Working for the Chemins de fer du Nord railway company, he installed a clock network at Gare du Nord in Paris with all the station clocks regulated by electromagnetic impulse from a single master clock.[1]
