Lange", Roman numeral silvered dial, the center also with engraving matching the case, blued steel Breguet style hands, and 8 day, 6 pillar fusee movement with lever escapement, serial #1061.

The firm was a favorite of Prince Albert and Queen Victoria, who often ordered clocks and watches to be presented as gifts. The company also exhibited work at the Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851, showing complicated watches, a half seconds beating regulator with remontoire, as well as pocket and marine chronometers. While many high quality French carriage clocks bearing the name of the firm are known, English made examples are rare. The case maker L. Lange is known for his high quality work, for both French and English makers. See Roberts, "Carriage and other Travelling Clocks", page 348, for a nearly identical Lange case.

CONDITION:
case polished and lacquered, with minor spotting and corrosion, a few dings, dial with minor scratches, movement with minor scratches and staining, one movement pillar with burr raised to adjust endshake, regulator with specks of oxide, running and striking correctly, would benefit from service. Correspondence between the consignor and Emmanuel Breguet is included with this clock, and states in part "This Breguet No. 1316 ... is perfectly genuine; completed in 1871, sold on November 8, 1871, to Mr. Acosta, for the sum of 400 Ffr. During 30 years, the clock is regularly serviced by Breguet Paris (6 times), and the owner is still the "Docteur Acosta, 24 rue du Luxembourg, a Paris". In addition to the Breguet signature, the movement bears the stamp "H.L.", and the platform is marked "J.S." with elongated, octagonal border, and is also marked "Soldano" on the underside. For many years, the H.L. mark was thought to have been that of Henry Lemaile. Recent research by Leigh Extence has reattributed the mark to Holingue Freres, suppliers of blancs to Drocourt and others. research into the Jacot and Drocourt firms can be found at www.extence.co.uk.

DESCRIPTION:
France, attributed to Jules, earlier "one piece" carriage clock, time and strike on a bell with hour repeat, the case lightly engraved, 8 day.
CONDITION:
retains original "two plane" Jules style platform with ratchet cut scape wheel [similar to club tooth]. The porcelain dial has no chips nor lines, however there is abrasion below 6, where a signature has been effaced, possibly that of Jules a' Paris. One unexplained item on this case is the presence of 4 small holes in the top bars, possibly drilled to allow a bit more volume from the delicate bell. Note early travel clocks often had a knurled knob on the time set, so the winding key is only single ended.
