An unusual French miniature carriage clock with silent hour repeat, Retailed by Howell James and Co., London, late 19th century. The single train movement with replaced platform lever escapement and hour repeat mechanism on a bell operated via a plunge button to the top of the case, the rectangular white Roman numeral dial with retouched retail signature HOWELL JAMES & Co., TO THE QUEEN to lower margin, the frosted gilt bevel-glazed case with hinged carrying handle above moulded top with canted angles and channel-cut uprights, on conforming ogee moulded base, 8cm high excluding handle. This unusual carriage clock utilises a system similar to those used on some 18th century bracket timepieces in order to repeat the last hour on demand only. This system is often termed a `silent` repeat as the clock does strike during normal operation. The action of depressing the plunger to the top of the case winds a spring which powers the mechanism, hence the absence of a standard second striking barrel within the movement.
