What is a carriage clock?

A carriage clock is a portable timepiece housed in a brass and glass case, developed in the nineteenth century for travel. They rely on spring-driven movements and often feature handles for carrying between rooms.

How do eight-day movements work?

An eight-day movement requires winding approximately once a week to maintain continuous operation. This mechanism reduced the frequency of winding for everyday desk use.

Are these clocks suitable for daily use?

Many mechanical desk timekeepers remain fully operational and suitable for keeping time in a modern study or office. Gentle handling and periodic servicing help preserve their delicate internal gears.

How do I identify an Edwardian clock?

Edwardian timepieces frequently incorporate lighter wood veneers, subtle string inlay, and refined Edwardian proportions. They bridge the heavy aesthetic of the late Victorian era and the clean lines of the twentieth century.
