About the Item

An extremely stylish and beautifully made Livre D'heures Alarm clock, in the shape of a small book, the case made of gilded brass is engraved on all sides and beautifully fitted together. The eight day movement made by Angelus is in remarkable condition. The case is stamp ‘JUST’ and was part of a limited number of clocks being produced Hour Lavigne in France with this trademark at the top end of the company’s production, this clock dates from the late 1940’s- early 1950’s. Interestingly Just clocks were given as Trophies for the 1953 and 1955 Le Mans 24 hour races Hour Lavigne and "JUST" clocks Charles Victor HOUR, one of the co-founders of HOUR LAVIGNE which still produces some of the finest and most spectacular clocks today (Google Hour Lavigne) began as an apprentice at 11 years of age. Twenty years later, he bought out a failing manufacture and in 1891 took on an associate - Diette. Together they became one of the most important clock makers in France. Hour then associated himself with Maurice Lavigne and by the end of the XIX C, Hour Lavigne was the largest clock and timepiece manufacturer in France with over 800 employees. The company also manufactured clocks that were stamped with the brand name of some of the most prestigious jewellers such as Tiffany & Co. High-end jewelers in both America and in the U.K. did not normally manufacture the clocks they sold under their names, but sought out prestigious clockmakers to produce models with their brands stamped on the dial and the maker's name or logo on the movement. This clock is overhauled and is ready for delivery all of our clocks come with our two year guarantee.

This superb gorge cased carriage clock is beautifully gilded, with a crisp white enamel dial and a roman chapter ring and outer arabic minutes. The eight day two train movement is regulated by a slivered English lever platform escapement, striking on a blued steel gong, with hour repeat button. The case is numbered 10135 throughout, this coupled with the maker’s mark showing the dates of awards on the front plate, means we can date the clock to between 1878 and 1889. The front and back plates are both marked with Jacot stamps. The front with the medal stamp listing the exposition awards Jacot had won. Bronzes in 1855 and 1862, and silver medals in 1867 and 1878. This stamp did not change until 1889 when Jacot junior won the companies first gold medal. The back plate shows the parrot trademark stamp with the initials HJ which came into use in 1878. The back of the dial is also signed by the enameller and numbered with the serial number. This is a very thoroughly marked and numbered clock in excellent condition. Henri Jacot...
