How do I wind a carriage clock?

Winding requires a dedicated key inserted into the arbours located through the backplate of the movement. Care must be taken not to over-wind the mainsprings. Most pieces run for eight days on a full wind, requiring a weekly routine to maintain continuous operation.

What is the push repeat function?

The push repeat button on the top of the case allows the owner to check the time in the dark. Pressing it causes the mechanism to chime the last elapsed hour and quarters. This complication demonstrates the technical ambition of nineteenth-century French clockmakers.

Are miniature carriage clocks different?

Miniature versions utilise the same mechanical principles as standard models but condense the gear train into a smaller footprint. They were designed specifically for portability during travel. Despite their reduced scale, many still incorporate alarm functions and gilt brass framing.

Why do some clocks have leather cases?

Original leather travelling cases protected the gilt brass frames and bevelled glass panels from knocks during journeys. They were tailored to fit the exact dimensions of the corniche case. The survival of these outer cases adds significantly to the historical completeness of the object.
