what does it mean, a sudden event marked by a sentimental speech and a carriage clock?

what does it mean, a sudden event marked by a sentimental speech and a carriage clock? is it a reference to a story that i don’t know?

see the source:
“Companies will have to do more than this if they are to survive the silver tsunami. They will have to rethink the traditional model of the career. This will mean breaking the time-honoured link between age and pay—a link which ensures that workers get ever more expensive even as their faculties decline. It will also mean treating retirement as a phased process rather than a sudden event marked by a sentimental speech and a carriage clock.”

When people used to retire, they would often be given a kind, sentimental speech by their boss and fellow workers describing how useful the person retiring was and how well-liked he was by everyone. It was also customary for retirees to be given little gifts when retiring, such as gold watches or other such things. A carriage clock is just a type of clock that could be given as a gift.
