The "portico" or "portico" clock was invented in the Louis XVI period, as was an unrivaled variety of other models. The gantry model will meet with immense success and will experience a wide variety of variations.

This clock is perfectly representative of the portico clock as it was appreciated during the Louis XVI period. The marble columns, the bases, the stepped terrace, the ornamental repertoire, all borrow from architecture. The use of white and black marble, urns and trophies refers to Antiquity, while the rich use of chiseled and gilded bronze with Ormoulu shows and recalls the precious character of the piece.
