Many Types of Carriage Clocks

Similar to conventional travel clocks, carriage clocks are made with a rectangular case made of either brass or silver, a spring-driven mechanism that is housed inside the casing, a glass-covered face made out of porcelain for the hands to be seen easily, and of course a large and strong handle that allows easy mobility.
