FAQs

A repeating carriage clock is a portable spring-driven timepiece developed in the 19th century equipped with a push-button mechanism that strikes the nearest hour or quarter on demand.

These clocks are constructed primarily from cast or stamped gilt brass, bevelled glass panels, blued steel hands, and white fired enamel dials.

Authentic period examples feature heavy brass plates, finely bevelled glass, hand-cut gear teeth, and makers marks or serial numbers stamped on the rear movement backplate.

A brass carriage clock can be placed on a mantelpiece, styled atop a stack of books on a bookshelf, or positioned on a desk alongside contemporary stationery.

Dust the exterior casing regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid chemical polishes that strip protective lacquer. Mechanical movements require professional horological servicing every five to seven years.
