FAQs

Carriage clocks originated in France during the 19th century as portable timepieces designed for travellers, military officers, and nobility on the move.

They were typically constructed from gilded brass or solid silver cases, featuring bevelled glass panels and intricate metal movements with platform escapements.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-engraved serial numbers on the movement backplate, hallmarks on silver or gilt components, and the quality of the escapement mechanism.

Place the timepiece prominently on a mantelpiece, executive desk, or bookshelf where its reflective metal case and mechanical precision can be appreciated up close.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture, avoid over-winding the mainspring, and have it professionally serviced by a horologist every few years.
