Carriage clock auctions: French brass and travel clocks, searched at once

Carriage clocks, most classically French brass examples with bevelled glass panels, are collected for the maker's name, whether the movement strikes or repeats, and completeness with the original travelling case and winding key. A signed movement by a known Parisian maker in a matched case commands a real premium over an unsigned equivalent.

Why carriage clock lots get missed

General sellers often list a carriage clock simply as "brass clock" without identifying the maker or whether it strikes, so a genuinely desirable signed and striking example can sit unrecognised inside a listing that looks like any other small brass clock.

One search across every platform

Auction Bid Assistant's free browser extension searches the-saleroom, EasyLive, Bidspotter, Invaluable, NumisBids, iCollector and LiveAuctionWorld simultaneously, alongside eBay. Search a maker's name, "striking carriage clock," "French carriage clock," or "carriage clock" generally and results return across all of them, with images, estimates, current bids where shown, and sale countdowns, sorted by platform in tabs.

Real results for "carriage clock antique": genuine French brass carriage clocks, including a serviced Margaine striking clock, found in one search.

It works by searching from inside your own browser, the same as opening and searching each site yourself, just done in seconds. Nothing is stored on our servers, permissions are minimal, and the extension never places a bid on your behalf.

Alerts: for the makers or features you collect

Save a search (a maker's name, "striking carriage clock," or "carriage clock" generally) and get emailed the moment a new lot matches it, across all covered platforms including eBay, rather than relying on remembering to check each one.

Want to try before installing?

The same search box works on this website with no install at all for eBay, iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld and Featured Auction catalogues, a quick way to see matching carriage clock lots before adding the rest of the platforms via the extension.

Built for how carriage clock collectors actually work

Save any lot with one click from search results, export your shortlist as a printable PDF or CSV before a sale, and on the day itself the optional live bridge feeds the auctioneer's asking price into the free bid calculator, so your maximum (with buyer's premium and any applicable taxes included) is always in front of you.
