Jean Perrin, a member of a famous French family of clockmakers, worked in Paris from around 1807 until about 1840. This can be dated circa 1835-40. The first Carriage Clock was made by Breguet for Emperor Napoleon in 1812 but it was not until around 1840-50 that they became popular particularly amongst the English. Bell striking and “trefoil” hands are specific early features which can be found in this good Carriage Clock.
