French Miniature Timepiece Carriage Clock With Champlevé Enamel Panels
A stunning miniature eight day timepiece carriage clock with highly attractive and finely executed Champlevé enamel panels. The colour combination including rich yellow, greens and blues is quite unusual and seldom seen. The richly gilded miniature Corniche case has delicate floral Champlevé enamel panels of yellows, greens and cornflower blue, with a rectangular glazed viewing aperture and hinged carrying handle to the top.
This beautiful clock has a Champlevé Arabic dial with fine spade gilt hands and a single going barrel movement with original silvered platform escapement.
This is a magnificent example of the artistry and skill of French clockmaking during the late 19th century. Its small size, intricate design, and high-quality materials make it a prized possession for any clock collector or lover of fine art.

MADE IN: | France |
MATERIAL: | Gilt brass and enamel |

CONDITON: | The case has a good rich colour to the gilding and the panels are complete without damage. The dial is very attractive and compliments the panels. It is in excellent condition and without damage. The movement has been fully cleaned and overhauled. It is running well and keeping good time. Miniature carriage clocks are not the best timekeepers due to their miniature size. This example will keep within 5 minutes per week which is perfectly acceptable for a clock that is 140 yers old. |

What our customers say
I have used The Clock Clinic previously before moving away from the area. I required a replacement clock face for a family heirloom and initially sought help from a shop in Surrey which turned out to be extremely unhelpful, dismissive and rude. I called the Clock Clinic, and Elly could not have been more helpful! Elly spent time researching our problem, found another solution which was spot on for us, but did not result in a "sale" for them. Real "above and beyond" service, absolutely brilliant. Highly recommend.
Highly professional and courteous service from the Clock Clinic. Serviced one Baume & Mercier watch in a timely manner, replacing a used strap with a good-looking replacement. Repaired another (when others couldn't) and got it working without any attempt to "up-sell" services. Much appreciated, I would recommend Alastair, Hilary and the team.
Best watch experts in London. I took my Emporio Armani watch to get the screen repaired to multiple watch shops and they were unable to have it fixed. I even sent it back to the manufacturer and they were unable to repair it. I brought it into the Clock Clinic and they were able to repair the watch in a timely manner for a great price. Friendly and expert service. I recommend this place to anyone. Thanks team!
