Commonplace in Victorian England, carriage clocks kept the mail coach and its passengers apprised of their scheduled departures and arrivals. Designed to take the rigors of the roughest roads, this durable little clock will withstand the test of time. This travel clock adds a Victorian touch to any room's shelf, mantel or desk. Solid wood case with a black finish with brass hardware and a carrying handle. The convex glass is surrounded by brass extensions to prevent damage and the back cover plate is engraved with an image of time zones from around the world.
