Engraved Carriage Clock

16.5 x 7.5 x 6.5cm

This is a very attractive carriage clock with the unusual addition of unique cobalt blue minute track and minutes around the Black Roman numerals. It also has the addition of the Henri Jacot inner ring. The clock is not stamped for Henri Jacot but after years of working on H.J. clocks, we can say this most likely came out of his workshops and was retailed by another. The clock is fully engraved and again, quite a unique style of hand engraving, expertly executed. The case and dial mask are also gilded and the gilding is a very attractive rich colour. The clock has push repeat , alarm ,hour and half hour strike on a gong. Having its original outer leather protective case, see pictures. Dating to around 1890-1900.

Bourdin ,Duplex with rare strike

 

It's not often we are surprised by a clock but this Bourdin Carriage clock has done just that. The reason for this is the strike. The strike for the hour is on Bell and the strike for the half hour on a Gong, ingenious ! thus solving the problem of the 12.30 , 1 & 1.30 strike if you are not looking at the clock just listening. To achieve this the clockmaker (Boudin - Clockmaker to the King of France ) has had to cleverly invent a 'pump' hammer to switch between them. As if that wasn't enough the clock has the original Duplex escapement which is exceptional. Bourdin was a small producer of fine and now rare carriage clocks from the Rue de la Paix and won many medals and honours. Circa 1850. We have uploaded a small clip on youtube HERE.

Leroi a Paris , Calderwood .

This early carriage clock is possibly the earliest we have handled . We have  established that Leroi a Paris became the Royal clockmakers in 1825 and this must pre-date as it would have been stamped Leroi a Paris Horologer du Roi after that date .There are also other features that would make this exceptionally early for a carriage clock , the case is constructed in a very unusual way , a' multi-piece' case with shuttered rear door and being quite large overall . The case retains the original Gilt finish which we have cleaned but not regilded or refreshed . The original and unusual jewelled lever , platform escapement is superb and has a good strong action . The clock is 'countwheel' striking on a bell and can be left silent (if you do not wind the strike side) . The original silvered dial is signed Calderwood and Son , London , who would have retailed the clock . The thick bevelled glass has a few little edge chips but it would be a shame to change  as it is original . To sum up , this is a very rare and early carriage clock that would appeal to the collector or investor .

Nickel and Rhodium have very similar white colour , so it was decided to opt for the Rhodium-a noble metal which has greater value at around $80,000 a kilogram ! and is also one of the most precious metals .
