About the Item

A stunning, elegantly designed, exceptionally executed antique carriage clock by the distinguished French clock maker Armand Couaillet Freres of Saint-Nicolas-D'Aliermont, Normandy, in Northwestern France. Circa 1900 (1890-1915) The fine quality, working, recently serviced, gilded brass carriage clock, also known as an Officer's clock and Travel clock, dates to the turn of the late 19th / early 20th century, having a solid brass swinging bail handle, five beveled glass panes, with a visible platform escapement through the top aperture window and fully operable eight day time key-wound mechanical movement that's partially visible through the side glass panes, having brilliant white enamel dial with black roman numerals, cornice molded base, all rising on four bracket feet. The winding key is included. Personalized inscription underfoot reads "For Snake, I love you. May 19th 1983". Signed; The movement is stamped with Couaillet Freres makers mark. Dimensions (approx): 4.25" H, 3" W, 2 3/8" D, 1.5lbs Excellent condition. Antique, original condition. Working great. Recently serviced. Ready for many years of use. -- Brief Couaillet Frères history: Armand Couaillet was born in 1865 and formed the clock factory Couaillet Frères in Saint Nicolas d'Aliermont together with his brothers Henri Couaillet and Ernest Couaillet in 1892. Couaillet had first worked for Villon Duverdrey & Bloquel, but decided to start his own company after some administrative problems. It was soon obvious that his movements were of better quality than those of his competitors; Couaillet started out with 15 employees, soon had 30 and after a few years employed a staff of 150. The factory was one of the most important suppliers of ebauches (blanc-roulants), but also built complete carriage clocks and pendules as a successor of the Manufacture Delepine-Barrois. Many of the ebauches were delivered to renowned French companies such as Henry Marc and LeRoy. These movements are usually easily recognizable by the fine arrow markings around the adjusting axis of the hands on the back of the plate. Unfortunately the first factory building was destroyed in a great fire in 1812 and 220 employees were threatened with the loss of their jobs. A new building was later also destroyed by fire. Another factory was built in 1913. In 1930 the three brothers were forced to close their company down because of financial problems and went their own ways. Armand Couaillet was taken over by the Exacta company and existed until 1935. Later only Henri Couaillet, a son of Henri Couaillet, carried on working under the name Couaillet Henri Fils. The company existed until the 1970.
