Le Roy & Drocourt one piece strike repeat Alarm Carriage clock

Antique carriage clocks have such an aesthetically attractive design to them, that fascinate all who see them, from young to old, and here is an extremely high grade antique carriage clock that was made in France in the late 19th Century by one of the leading and well respected clockmakers of all time.

Not only capable of telling the time, this is also has a quarter repeater as well as an alarm function. This means that it will sound a beautiful strike on every quarter of the hour, at a quarter past, half past and quarter to the hour, as well as striking the hours, so seven delightful strikes at 7 o’clock.

This movement was made by Drocourt, who started as a father and son team and quickly established themselves as makers of the finest clock movements, with this one certainly being no exception. The quality of this movement is nothing short of spectacular, and even has the ability unlike most repeaters, to be easily silenced by sliding the bar under the clock to the silent position.

Retailed by the equally prestigious clock making and retailer company Le Roy & Fils, the dial which is still spotlessly clean and white, is signed “LeRoy & Fils 13 & 15 Palais-Royale, Paris 211 Regent Street, London”. Although this writing is slightly worn, it adds to the character and prestige of this clock.

The brass case has been restored, polished and sealed and measures 12.5cm high (or 15cm with the handle up) by 8.5cm wide by 7.5cm deep, and fitted with its original beveled glass sides and tops, make it such an attractive and aesthetically pleasing clock that is suitable for any room or desk.

To add to the charm, the top glass panel has been monogrammed with two initials adding to the allure of this gorgeous carriage clock.

With the beautiful glass sides and top allowing you to see the movement in its entirety, the movement has been expertly restored and comes with our twelve month warranty.

In perfect condition this antique carriage clock is perfect from every angle that you view it, and is truly an example of high quality clock making at its finest.
