INTRO


The most simple and efficient travel clock

A BIT OF HISTORY


Carriage clocks are also known in France as “Officer’s clocks” and the name is based on an historical anecdote. 
It is said that Napoleon, having almost lost a major battle because one of his officers was late, ordered his military chiefs to carry a carriage clock with them at all times. Orders placed with master clockmakers always included the reference “a clock for an officer” and this brought the name into common parlance.

This Anglaise clock was made in London by Huber of Hatton Garden in 1972 and is a reproduction of an “Anglaise” made by Couaillet Frères of St Nicolas d’Aliermont in 1931.
