This empire style French case is adorned with beveled-glass panes on all four sides and the top to allow the owner or horologist to view the internal mechanisms of the Clock. The clock also comes with the original winding key (needed for changing time also). It keeps perfect time. Stamped on the back plate Made in France. Measures 4 ¼” tall x 2 3/8” deep X 3” wide. It is an eight day wind up clock. Clock has not been polished- The patina I though showed it age better. NOTE: winds left not right.
A little history: The first carriage clock was made very early in the 19th Century by Abraham Louis Breguet. By 1810, the basic design of the carriage clock was much as we know it today. Because of their portability, carriage clocks were used by officers in the army to tell the time, as well as any well-off traveler that could afford such a luxury. Clocks with pendulums, which were popular at the time, could not be carried without damaging the internal mechanics, so the markets for Carriage Clocks were booming in the 19th Century.; This empire style French case is adorned with beveled-glass panes on all four sides and the top to allow the owner or horologist to view the internal mechanisms of the Clock.
