Napoleon clocks and mantel clocks - decorative timepieces for the upscale ambience

The well-known design of Napoleon watches owes its name to the famous military hat from the 18th century, or more precisely to its most famous wearer: Napoleon Bonaparte, whose name is now almost synonymous with the bicorn hat. Today, the headgear worn by many officers is usually associated with the future emperor. Inspired by the transversely 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 to place 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 little gems, they look very good at any installation location.

On the other hand, not only the Napoleon clocks belong to the mantel clocks, but also numerous other models fit wonderfully into this category and on the mantelpiece. For example, the mantel 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 high longevity of the product. In contrast to antique mantel clocks, modern mantel clocks have much less decoration, so particularly old mantel clocks usually present themselves in the form of highly ornate trellis or with some figures, mantel clocks have thus changed a lot and are nowadays much simpler and more restrained.
