FAQs

A carriage clock is a small, spring-driven clock designed for travel, originating in France during the 19th century to replace bulky pendulum clocks for people on the move.

These clocks typically feature heavy cast brass or gilded bronze frames fitted with bevelled glass panels to display the intricate mechanical movement, accompanied by enamel dials.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit hand-numbered mechanical movements, fire-gilded brass cases, makers stamps on the backplate, and hand-painted white enamel dials with Roman numerals.

Positioning the clock on a prominent mantelpiece, a polished wooden desk, or a bookshelf allows it to serve as a sophisticated focal point that contrasts cleanly with contemporary minimalism.

Keep the movement serviced by a professional horologist every few years, avoid harsh chemical polishes on the brass case, and place the clock away from direct sunlight and humidity.
