Drocourt Reiseuhr No. 8210 um 1875 French Gorge Cased Carriage Clock, Drocourt.

A very nice small French gorge cased carriage clock by Drocourt. The gilt-bronze case has beveled glasses to five sides and a hinged handle. The white porcelain dial has Roman numerals for the hours, Arabic numbers for the five-minute marks and the alarm dial and Breguet style steel-cut hands.

The eight-day time, strike, alarm and hour repeat movement retains the original balance platform with a bi-metallic screwed balance wheel, is wound and set out the back, stamped and numbered by the maker, '8210' and strikes on a bell.

This clock is nice for its diminutive size, the detailed workmanship and that it strikes on a bell since the vast majority of carriage clocks strike on a gong.

Ref: For a more detailed discussion on Drocourt see 'Carriage Clocks' by Charles Allix, pg. 438.

Drocourt's stamp was a 'D' and 'C' flanking a carriage clock set within an oval.
