Description

Hi

I have for sale a 1960s French striking and repeating/alarm carriage clock made in France by L Epée with the date dials at the bottom with the moon phase dial also, in the Grande case with the engraved detail retailed by Mappin % Webb again ex shop stock a very heavy carriage clock for the best collections.

This clock has been fully serviced and is offered for sale in mint-perfect condition both visually and mechanically.

The Case

The case is in solid shiny brass in the Grande case style and stands 19cm high x 10cm wide with a depth of 9cm it is in perfect condition with mint thick beveled sides/front/back door and top viewing glass.

The case is very shiny and hard to photograph they do not do the clock justice at all.

This clock is very heavy at 3.75 kilos so postage will cost a little more sorry.

The Dial

The dial is in mint condition in white with roman numerals, the face is perfect no cracks or hairlines at all, and the clock also retains its original black moon hands.

The clock has three dials at the bottom one for the day and date (in French) and the center dial for the alarm setting with the fully working lunar moon phase all functions are in perfect working order.

The Movement

The movement is an eight-day time and strike which strikes the hours and halves via a blue steel gong to the rear also has the repeater button on top to repeat the last hour strike, the movement has been serviced and oiled so keeping a great time over the eight days and has the bonus of the original jeweled platform escapement.

This clock also has a working alarm function and is fully signed on the rear plate.

The original key is still present.

This clock was over 8K new so a big saving to be had.

Overall a very beautiful quality carriage clock by a quality French maker that looks great on display and contains all of its original features this is quite a rare find these days.

I will ship worldwide and pack very carefully

Carriage clocks originated in France during the 19th century as portable timepieces designed for travellers, officers, and the wealthy bourgeoisie. They were engineered with robust mechanical movements to withstand motion while maintaining precise timekeeping.

Authentic carriage clocks are typically constructed from fire-gilded or brass cases fitted with bevelled glass panels to allow visibility of the internal mechanism. Dials are frequently crafted from white enamel with painted Roman or Arabic numerals, while premium models incorporate intricate hand-engraving.

Authentication involves examining the escapement mechanism, serial numbers, and maker marks stamped on the backplate of the movement. Quality pieces feature heavy cast brass cases, cylinder or platform escapements, and high-grade complications such as striking mechanisms or calendar dials.

A carriage clock serves as a sophisticated focal point when placed on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or executive desk. Its polished metallic finish and classic proportions complement both traditional dark wood furniture and minimalist contemporary settings.

Mechanical clocks require professional servicing every three to five years to clean and oil the gear train. Owners should avoid placing them in direct sunlight or areas with high humidity, and winding should be performed gently without over-tensioning the mainspring.
