The ingenious rotating carousel design for the movement of the current lot was devised from a patent submitted by D.A. Buck of Worcester, Massachusetts in 1878 with the intention to produce a reliable timekeeper from the least possible parts. The mechanism was first employed by Waterbury in their Ôlong wind watchÕ before being used in carriage timepieces (with a much larger spring barrel to increase the duration to eight-days) from the early 1880Õs. The design and layout of the this type of carriage timepiece (including train counts) is described (in great detail) in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS Their history and development pages 360-6.
