Rather than a\n      general clockmaking house, Matthew Norman has focused on this single classic\n      shape, refining the case proportions, movement quality and finishing that\n      collectors have come to associate with the name.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      Where many carriage clocks on the market today are unsigned or of anonymous\n      manufacture, a piece bearing the Matthew Norman name on both dial and backplate\n      carries a clear maker attribution and a level of movement quality that sets it\n      apart. This example, model 1754A with its eleven-jewel Swiss movement and\n      mechanical alarm function, reflects that heritage well and makes a genuinely\n      collectible addition to any clock collection.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"section alt\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eAbout the Clock\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      This attractive Matthew Norman model 1754A combines the classic proportions of a\n      traditional carriage clock with the additional practicality of a mechanical alarm\n      function.
