Henry Capt – Carriage Clock – Small

A fine and perfectly proportioned carriage clock with alarm, strike and push repeat. What makes this one quite interesting is the size. This is a very small example by Henry Capt of Geneva. The gilded case is wonderful and has a soft ‘satin’ type finish. The dial is almost perfect with an almost imperceptible hair line in the top right corner (hidden). The dial is attractively decorated with Arabic numerals instead of Romans. and the backplate is engraved with the makers name under the hand ‘set’ square. All in all, this is very good little example of quite a rare size clock by an exceptional maker!
