Catalog Description:

C.1875, French, Soldano, Gorge Cased carriage clock in very good original condition, with seconds hand in lieu of numeral 12. The only item that keeps this from being excellent is a set of spider lines across the numeral 4. The platform is signed with "JS" trademark in a stretched octagon frame, and numbered 729 and with matching number on the movement. Charles Allix, in his book, Carriage Clocks, says : "The beautiful J.S. escapements found on Soldano clocks were in all probability produced for him in Switzerland." And this platform is deserving of that praise. The case has been polished to brass, and with some discoloration in the crevices; but overall a well made and interesting carriage clock, time, strike and repeat. Height 7 1/4"
