Black Carriage Clock | Seth ThomasSmall enough to slip into a suitcase, this Seth Thomas Carriage Clock has a beautiful black piano finish. A classic design, these type of clocks are often referred to as Officer Clocks. The first authentic carriage clock was made in Paris at the start of the Nineteenth Century by Abraham-Luis Breguet (1747-1823). Carriage clocks are also known in France as "officers' clocks" and the name is based on an historical anecdote. It is said that Napoleon, having almost lost a battle because one of his officers was late, ordered his officers to carry a carriage clock with them at all times.

This one has a silver tone metal case that is offset by the black piano finish..
