What is a carriage clock?

A carriage clock is a portable timepiece developed in the nineteenth century for travellers, housed in a rectangular brass case with glass panels. Most examples are powered by a mainspring and regulated by a balance wheel rather than a pendulum, allowing them to function while transported.

How do lantern clocks work?

Lantern clocks are early mechanical timepieces that traditionally hang on a wall or stand on small feet, driven by weights or springs. They derive their name from their brass box-like shape and feature a distinctive bell mounted on top above decorative pierced frets.

How do I wind an antique clock?

Antique timepieces require a matching winding key inserted into the dial holes to tension the mainspring or lift the driving weights. Care must be taken not to overwind the movement, stopping as soon as resistance is felt to protect the internal brass gears.

How do I identify the period of a brass clock?

Period identification relies on examining the case style, the shape of the engraving, the signature of the maker and the type of escapement. Seventeenth-century pieces display robust brass frames and frets, whereas Victorian carriage clocks feature bevelled glass and machine-gilt surfaces.
