The first authetic carriage clock was made in Paris at the start of the 19th Century, by Abraham-Louis Breguet (1747-1823). Carriage clocks are also known in France as Officers Clocks. The name is based on an historical anecdote. It is said that Napoleon, having almost lost a battle because one of his officers was late, ordered his military chiefs to carry a small clock with them at all times. Orders placed with master clockmakers always included the reference a clock for an officer and this broght the name into common parlance.
