Carriage clock - Brass, Glass - 1970-1980

This is a vintage French miniature brass carriage clock, likely dating from the late 19th to mid-20th century. It features a classic rectangular “four-glass” (or five-glass) case with polished gilt-brass framing, bevelled glass panels on all sides for viewing the movement, a white enamel dial with black Roman numerals and simple black hands, and a hinged brass carrying handle on top. The movement is key-wound (platform lever escapement, time-only), visible from the rear through the glass door, and stamped only “MADE IN FRANCE” with no maker’s signature or serial number. The interior of the rear door is marked “12” on each side (a standard French factory assembly or matching number for the case and movement). It includes its original winding key on a decorative gold cord with tassel. Height 11 cm (excluding handle); Width 8 cm; depth 6 cm; Weight 829 g. The case is solid and heavy for its compact size, with good original polish and intact glass. No travelling leather case. These unmarked “Made in France” pieces were mass-produced in France (often in the Japy or similar workshops) for export or domestic sale. They are decorative/functional rather than high-end horological items (no striking, repeating, or alarm; no famous retailer or enamelled decoration). The “12” door marks and tassel key are typical period details.
