LE Roy Et Fils Nineteenth-century French court watchmaker Le Roy workshop made classical carriage clocks Classical Carriage Clocks

Since the mid-15th century, clockworks have been powered by springs. After three and a half centuries of technical development, the pendulum clock was eventually invented by Master Breguet in the late 18th century. This type of clock is also known as a "carriage clock." The elegant classical mantel clock being shared today originates from the workshop of the French court watchmaker Le Roy. Crafted entirely in brass, it is in excellent condition. Originally featuring Gothic architectural lines, the brass has been polished by ancient craftsmen to exude a warm texture. The four Corinthian columns on the sides convey an aesthetic reminiscent of ancient Greek artistry. The white enamel dial displays burnt-blue Arabic numerals, with the masterful Le Roy's signature at 12 o'clock. The all-around glass allows a clear view of the mechanism, while the top features a wedge-cut crystal that casts a modern light on the classic screws, showcasing a classical beauty unmatched by modern timepieces. Time itself cannot be described, for it is dazzling, it passes, yet clocks can. After enduring a century, this clock still operates flawlessly. Our workshop has one in stock, waiting for its destined owner.
