Description

Matthew Norman “Corinthien” carriage clock, ca. 1990. Matthew Norman is a contemporary Swiss clockmaker who specializes in carriage clocks. You can find many of his clocks on LiveAuctioneers. This clock is just over 7 inches tall with the handle up, with four beveled glasses and a beveled glass on top to view the platform movement. The back is inscribed “Eleven jewels unadjusted Swiss made” and “Movement Matthew Norman London 1750”. It winds and sets from the back and includes a strike and alarm, as well as a key. It is running but the strike is stuck. A similar example without the alarm dial sold last year for $200. $200–$400.
