C.1890, French, Charles Hour, Gilt brass cased carriage clock, time, strike, repeat and alarm. This is a lovely case with fluted columns at all 4 corners, and canted at 45Ü which is visually attractive, and with green guilloche enamel bands across the top and bottom (enamel is over tooled bands that give it an iridescent look). The movement is signed Ch. Hour, France, Thirteen Jewels, and the round porcelain dial is signed Theodore B. Starr, Inc. The platform has been replaced with a modern Swiss unit, on which the jeweler applied a little silvering to disguise the origin; top inspection crystal with corner chip. Still a very attractive carriage clock. Height 6 inches
