What is a repeating carriage clock?
1 Answer
A repeating carriage clock is a type of portable timekeeping device used during the 19th century until wristwatches became commonplace near the start of the 20th century. The clock featured chimes that rang a specific number of times to mark the hours. "Repeating" refers to the fact that a person could push a button to repeat the chime pattern if they wished.
