FAQs

A carriage clock is a small, spring-driven portable timepiece developed in France during the early 19th century. Originally created for travellers, these clocks featured sturdy metallic cases, balance wheel escapements, and top carrying handles to withstand movement on carriage journeys.

Traditional carriage clocks are constructed with heavy gilt brass or bronze cases, thick bevelled glass inspection panels, white enamel dials, and hand-cut steel hands powered by brass gear trains.

Authentic period carriage clocks display solid brass construction, finely ground bevelled glass, stamped movement markers or serial numbers on the backplate, and clean enamel dial plates with clear Roman or Arabic numerals.

A brass carriage clock serves as a structured metallic accent when placed on a living room mantelpiece, executive desk, or minimalist bookshelf, pairing traditional horological detail with modern decor.

Keep the clock in a dry environment with stable temperatures to avoid metal oxidisation. Dust the case with a dry microfibre cloth without liquid polish, and have the mechanical movement cleaned and lubricated by a professional horologist every three to five years.
