Description from the seller
Carriage or officer’s clock with striking mechanism and alarm — Paris
Mechanical travel clock with a brass case, folding handle and beveled glass panels that allow the mechanism to be viewed from the sides, the back and the top window. White enamel dial with Roman numerals for the hours, an outer minute track in Arabic numerals, and strikingly blue blued spade and sword hands. A small dial at the bottom is used to set the alarm.
Movement with a compensated bimetallic balance, striking mechanism on a blued steel gong and a top-mounted repeat button. The rear plate bears the inscription «PARIS», along with engraved markings for the alarm and time setting. The glazed back door provides access to the winding and setting arbors. It is misaligned at the bottom. The case has retained a patina that enhances the moldings and classic lines of this type of travel clock. Not working. Sold without a key.
Approximate dimensions: 18 cm high with the handle raised and 15 cm with the handle folded down × 9 cm wide × 9 cm deep.
Approximate weight: 1.5 kg.
