Napoleon watches

Napoleon and fireplace clocks - decorative timepieces for the upscale ambienceThe well-known design of Napoleon clocks owes its name to the famous military hat from the 18th century, more precisely its most famous wearer: Napoleon Bonaparte, whose name is now almost synonymous with the bicorn hat. Today, the headgear of many officers is usually associated with the later emperor. Based on the cross-worn hat with a turned-up brim, the Napoleon watch takes up the characteristic curved shape, which is highest in the middle and runs down in a wide arc on both sides.These clocks are particularly popular on a mantelpiece, as the shape of the clock and the high-quality workmanship come into their own in such a place. The very classically designed cabinets look timeless and therefore also fit into numerous room concepts, whether modern, minimalist or with many antiques. Mantel clocks, table clocks or whatever you want to call the small pieces of jewelry, they look very good at any location.The fireplace clocks, on the other hand, include not only the Napoleon clocks, but also numerous other models fit wonderfully into this category and on the mantelpiece. For eample, the fireplace clocks of the brands AMS, Hermle, Kieninger and Scania are sure to enchant you. The well-known watch manufacturers focus on quality instead of quantity, the materials used are mostly high-quality woods or precious metals, which not only look particularly good, but also promise a long service life of the product. In contrast to antique fireplace clocks, modern fireplace clocks come with significantly less decoration, so particularly old fireplace clocks usually present themselves in the form of highly ornate trellis or with some figures, fireplace clocks have thus changed a lot and are nowadays much simpler and more restrained.
