Paul Garnier: A Series I Carriage Clock

19th century
Description

A Series I one-piece carriage clock dated for 1840 and attributable to the workshops of Paul Garnier.

This clock was the subject of detailed research and forensic study culminating in the writing of an article for the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, Chapter 195. In the paper I describe the step-by-step process used to attribute the clock to the well-known and historically important maker Paul Garnier.

When dismantled the rear of the dial was found to be inscribed with the name Debruge whose details I researched and added to the article. A further surprise was then finding the main spring scratched with the name Borel jeune and dated for July 1840. Further research from source material added to the Garnier attribution as it became apparent that both these men undertook work for Garnier at this time. The details for both these makers, along with some fascinating history of the retailer F.L. Hausburg, are a part of my article, which includes some useful dating of Garnier clocks using the sequence of serial numbers that came to light.

As such, any full description on this page is somewhat redundant as the full transcript of the article can be read by clicking on the following link: Paul Garnier: An Attributable Carriage Clock at www.extence.co.uk/exhibition-catalogues

FAQs

A carriage clock, or officier clock, is a small, spring-driven portable clock developed in France during the early 19th century, designed specifically for travel.

Traditional carriage clocks are constructed with gilt brass cases, bevelled glass side panels, steel mechanical movements, and painted enamel dials.

Authentic examples feature heavy cast gilt brass cases, thick bevelled glass plates, hand-enamelled dials displaying Roman numerals, and stamped maker marks on the back movement plate.

Display the carriage clock on a fireplace mantel, bookshelf, or executive office desk to serve as a metallic focal point alongside modern or traditional decor.

Dust the brass casing and glass panels using a dry microfibre cloth, avoid abrasive chemical polishes, and have the mechanical movement serviced every five to seven years by a horologist.
