Carriage Clocks For Sale
If you're interested in buying any of the clocks featured here, please contact me.
While I am happy to post clocks to you, I personally believe it is always better to see them 'in the flesh' before buying and then you can take them with you, avoiding the potential for damage...
If you do not see what you want here please ask, as I have a selection of clocks still awaiting restoration - one of which might be just what you are looking for!
ALL clocks I sell have been fully overhauled by me personally and are fully guaranteed for one year.
Petite Sonnerie Carriage Clock with English lever platform escapement
This is a high-quality Petite Sonnerie carriage clock with Grand Sonnerie repeat. This means it strikes ting-tang on 2 gongs for each quarter, and the relevant number of blows at the hour on one gong, but if you press the repeat button it strikes the hours, then a blank 'strike' then the ting-tang quarters; so for example between 2:30 and 2.45 it would strike ting, ting, (blank) ting-tang, ting-tang, and between 2:45 and 3:00 it would have a third ting-tang. If you want you can silence it completely with a lever projecting through a slot in the bottom blanking plate, with the 2 positions inscribed 'Striking' and 'Silent'
The dial, sadly, has 2 hairline cracks in the bottom right corner, and another one which is hidden by the case and bevel of the glass in the top left corner. It is signed Dent / 33 Cockspur St / London. The chapter ring has minute lines (replaced by diamonds at the quarter-hours and dots at the other hours) and roman hour numbers.
The back plate is unengraved apart from an arrow to show the direction in which to turn the hands.
