Datei:Paul Garnier Reiseuhr mit Garnier Hemmung (6).JPG

Maker: Paul Garnier, Nr. 1970. um 1854
Dial: The white porcelain dial has Roman numerals for the hours, gilt-bronze Tre-Foil hands and is signed 'Paul Garnier/Her du Roi/Paris'.
Movement: The two-train eight-day movement is stamped on the frontplate, 'HL', is wound, set and adjusted off the backplate either directly or through the back door, has rack and snail striking on a bell, is stamped and numbered 'Paul Garnier/Her du Roi/Paris/1970' and most importantly has Garnier's chaff cutter escapement.
Notes: Both the case and movement are stamped 1970. Paul Garnier is commonly credited to have begun the carriage clock industry in France. His chaff cutter frictional-rest escapement provided a reliable alternative to some of the more common examples as it eliminated the contrate wheel, reduced lateral wear and was easily produced. He designed and made several series of case styles that are commonly referred to as Series I to IV. Although he adopted the rack form of striking early on, he still produced examples using countwheel striking throughout his career.

The initials HL stand for Henri Lemaille who produced 'blanc roulants' for some of the best makers in Paris including Drocourt and LeRoy.
