Description:
This is Bayard Paris brass carriage clock,H- 5 1 2 , W- 3 , Duverdrey and Bloquel, French clock makers. 8 day 7 jewels, made in France. Pruchased by RAF during his London trip last July 2019.
From 1928 to about 1932, many of the clocks produced were stamped with both names - Duverdrey Bloquel - Bayard mostly on the clock mechanism and finally only Bayard was kept along with the logo of the walking lion. Interestingly, people still confuse the Bayard lion with the car manufacturer Peugeot s lion even though the two of them are dramatically different in design.
