L'Epée Carriage Clock, ca.1899-1910, Paris, France. Abraham Louis Breguet is said to have been the inventor of the carriage clock. Typically, these clocks usually took the form of a metal framed case, glazed on all four sides, and with a carrying handle at the top. During the 19th century and the early 20th century the French were responsible for manufacturing some of the best clock movements in terms of carriage clocks. This model was first introduced to the market in 1895 and named as Doucine. The lines of this clock owe their inspiration to French furniture style of the mid 18th century called "Doucine Louis XV". This carriage clock has white immaculate porcelain dial with Roman numerals, blued steel spade hands, and Roman dials for alarm function. It has stamped Made in France on back plate but no maker's name is visible, but maker's mark crossed swords with ALC initials carved under the regulator. Inside the top and the door is stamped 74 three times.The movement has a cylinder escapement and one of its important features it is a jewelled clock.L'Epée Clock Factory History: In 1777, in the Montbeliard area of France, Frederic Japy established the world's first large-scale clockmaking factory. Several more factories were set up in the area in due course, in imitation of the illustrious pioneer. One of them was the L'Epee workshop that in 1839 began producing movements, escapements and finally complete clocks.The L'Epee factory received prestigious gold awards at various international exhibitions. In Paris in 1889 and 1900, Vienna 1892, Hanoi 1902. |

Movement runs with a small swinging pendulum. The clock and its alarm function wound from the back. Similar clocks were manufactured in from mid 19th century to early 20th century. France and Germany were the main manufacturers of these clocks. The arrow on the dial is not the only indicator of alarm lever rotation but Drocourt's emblem as well as their D.C. initials. The movement bears no trademark. Pierre & Alfred Drocourt were one of the top maker's of carriage clocks in the mid to late Victorian period, having a factory at Saint-Nicolas-d'Ailermont, the most important town for carriage clock manufacture at the time, as well as premises in Paris at Rue Debelleyme 28 and Rue de Limoges.

IMHOF 8 DAY TRAVEL CLOCK EARLY 1930s The brand IMHOF has been created by Arhur Imhof S.A. in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland. I do not know when this clock making company started to operate, but in the turn of the 20th century may be the tentative date of its beginning. IMHOF clocks has been one of the best of its kind and mostly produced high quality 8 day travel clocks. I am not certain when the company stopped making clocks, but possibly late 1970s. This clock most likely was produced in early 1930s. The brown leather case in the shape of a triangle. The case is 80mm high and 76mm wide, the base is 70mm deep. The part that holds the clock swivels round to reveal a picture of a porch and front door. The bezel of the clock is 47mm square without the winding crown. The dial is gilt in colour with a copper colour minute ring. The IMHOF is under the 12 and 8 Days above the 6. It has black skeleton numbers which have been painted green; some of the green has come off some of the numbers. The hands are blued steel with green luminious inserts. The movement has Geneva stripes and anchor escapement with 15 jewels. This clock has a very unique alarm setting. The alarm hand is moved to the time you want to go off by pushing the button that is in the centre of the crown. The clock is serviced in July, 2010. |
