The petite sonnerie carriage clock differs from the grand sonnerie in that it chimes the more conventional quarters and does not repeat the hour strike at each quarter. This makes the strike train much less of a challenge to engineer.

This example by Duverdrey & Bloquel is in very nice condition with its carrying case intact and only the original key replaced.
