EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent French brass grande sonnerie eight-day carriage clock with a full calendar, moonphase, barometer, and thermometer. Created around 1880 by the talented Victorien Boseet, this exquisite timepiece stands at an impressive height of 19 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The clock's anglaise riche case boasts Corinthian columns and ripple mouldings, exuding elegance and sophistication. Its finely matted and foliate engraved dial mask adds to its intricate beauty. The central white enamel Roman and Arabic time dial features blued steel Breguet hands for precise timekeeping. What sets this carriage clock apart are the upper enamel dials displaying the month, phase of the moon, and date. Below them are silvered dials showcasing a thermometer, barometer, and retrograde day of the week indicator. The clock also includes buttons on top for repeating functions on the upper dial. Inside lies an exceptional movement with twin barrels and a high-quality bimetallic lever balance adorned with gilt-frosted platform. The strike/repeat mechanism operates on two gongs mounted in the base while offering three position options: silence/grande/petite sonnerie selection. Stamped VB for Victorien Boseet with number 613 on its back plate, this masterpiece may have been signed AB by Alfred Baveux as well. Originally equipped with a glass cover mounted on its back plate, it comes complete with its original leather travel case. This stunning photograph captures every detail of this remarkable antique carriage clock that represents both artistry and functionality from an era long gone by.
