Doesn’t seem to be a Becker due to the placement of the winding arbour as Becker’s usually have closer arbours in the middle of the dial like on your becker wall clock! Possibly Keinzle or Junghans though (more likely keinzle as junghans were usually larger with a different number font) But this is a lovely clock!

Love these little Sectrics! I have an alarm clock that i tried to fix but ended up short circuiting my house! Also, would you be interested in joining my Clock Community Discord server? We have many collectors from all around the world and we’d love to have you as a member! If you’d like to join i can send the link. Thanks, Ralph!

Then there's the good-quality mechanical 8-day Smiths movements that were often used in car clocks, but I have a few mantel clocks with the 'good' movement. My so-called 8-day Smiths wall clock actually runs for longer than 8-days.

I've had a Genalex and you do of course get the ones twice as big in a Bakelite case as what you're showing here.

Good for you! How did you get it working? There are companies in London and also Carlton Clocks who could overhaul it, but at some cost. I got a nice Mauthe 8-day kitchen wall clock working after oiling it and coaxing it past the sticky bit, as it was fully wound and spring probably 'set'. I like these clocks - cuties arent' they? Often found in offices I'd say.

Can i ask how much you payed for this?

Dam eight

sounds awesome!

It's more likely to be a Kienzle, but I might be wrong. It's a nice clock :)

I recognise the pendulum on this one. I've had various clocks with this type of pendulum. It's called Underslung chiming, to allow for a slimmer case. Yip, nicely in tune. That horizontal bar above the hammers is to use for when clock is being transported - don't forget to shove it up again to release the hammers.

Yes, I particularly love the American version, called the Elite Whittington, but no, it's rare to hear their version.

Yeah, a good-quality, low-toned chime and in-tune. So, forget what I said about having to scale up to a longcase, but the best examples are contained in a big longcase clock due much to the big resonating cavity, coupled with a good quality movement such as W&H, early Junghans, Gustav Becker.

Aha! You've got one of those relatively modern triple-chimers - Bentima I think. I've had one as I recall and also remember a family having one, sat up high on a unit, NOT WORKING. Recently paid £70 for a really nice Vienna Reg-style striker like yours and works perfectly. It runs for 20 days! Yes, could be a HAC - yes, but if you undo the screws on base and slide whole clock out of its case, it might tell you on back plate. £40 is a SNIP - so well done. Gong's awful, but that can happen. My one has a better-sounding one - very like an older cuckoo clock gong. The bigger the spiral gong, the deeper-tone it will produce. Always bend hammer shaft - never the gong itself. My one's got a countwheel which can be a pain to put back in sync, but mine has a vertical wire you push up then let fall to put it back in sync.

Yeah, they take an age to wind and the spring, if it were to snap, would cause a LOT of damage, as it must be incredibly powerful to run it for a month. I assume you know about Gardner Houlgate auctioneers near Bath. They get some beauties in - including parts, keys, etc. Older clocks - 100 years + were better-made. Modern cuckoos are terrible, so my advice is to buy a much older one, even if it means saving up big-time for one.

Another decent-quality one with subsidiary dials. Chime is in-tune, but a bit basic. To get a fabulous deep-toned, slow chime, you need to look out for a decent longcase clock. Again, various qualities - a few hundred quid to a few thousand. 🤣Oh - and ceiling height to consider.

Have had one very like it. Yes, 'middle-of-the-road' quality and a nice example to have. Big Number bottom middle will be a Serial Number, the 158 1/4 Number will be for pendulum length, the 18 - no idea. I'm convinced someone knowledgeable from Germany, England or USA ought to know. I'd encourage you to invest in some horological reference books too. I really hope you have a good repairer near you! And who won't rip you off. For a full overhaul of this type, I'd expect to pay up to about £300 - probably far more than you paid for it, as you can pick these up for about £100-200 at auction. Best bet is to source someone who works from home and is semi-retired, who does not have shop premises overheads to pay. So pleased a youngster is keen on clocks. I've been fascinated by 'em for most of my 58 years. I see a wall clock - double brass weights, that you could buy new in H Samuel in the 70s! Oh! you've got one of those rope Zodiac clocks. I remember someone we used to visit in 70s who had one of those and wondered how it was wound up. I suspect hers had an older-style electro-mechanical movement. All the Best - and thanks for commentary.

I love these 2 train German striking clocks they are so amazing wish I could find one that isn’t 1000…

Nice clock :)

This one sounds amazing! Hate to break it to you but that's 100% a Mauthe make. I've got a very similar model with the Mauthe stamp on the movement & the same gong block, as well as the original owners manual

After further investigation, on the back door I found the initials L.B and a date which said August 15th 1912

Nice clock bro 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️

OH NOO

you could make a video winding up your clocks!

Oculus acc?

No St Michael, no fun

Wo

Still got ur vr headset?

Cool

Found out my grandads clock was most likely made post 1926 and might have been made by Haller

6:35 I said left but I ment right oh well

Sooo true
