Henri Jacot Carriage Clock with Strike Repeat Function

About the Item

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, was one of the great carriage clock manufacturers of the 19th century. Unusually, he manufactured every element of the clocks at his St Nicholas factory using specially developed tools and machinery of his own invention, rather than relying on outsourced parts. This makes Jacot carriage clocks some of the best quality and most sort after of their type. This clock comes with our 2 year guarantee. This clock will need to be serviced before shipping.
