An unusual French carriage clock which strikes "ship's bells" on two gongs. It strikes the correct bells for each watch at sea, rather than striking the hours. I do not recall seeing one before. Charles Allix states that Leroy made a small number around 1900, although there is no maker's mark on this clock.
