Carriage clocks – small, portable, spring-driven clocks with carrying handles – are among the most popular clocks with collectors today. This type of travelling clock was developed by Abraham-Louis Breguet (1747-1823), one of the most famous French watchmakers of his time. At the turn of the 19th century, these watches were called pendules de voyage. In the early 19th and 20th main producer was France, but they were most sold in England and the United States.



Condition:

The clock is in a very good condition, consistent with age. The surfaces are partially slightly rubbed and occasionally minimally bumped along the edges. The knob of the case door displays a tiny blemish. During in house testing, the timepiece was running; the fine adjustment function is in need of repair. No guarantee on long term precision and regularity. The dimensions measure 15.2 x 9.2 x 7 cm.
