German Can anyone identify?

[Peter W]

I guess this is a German or Austrian time only movement. Can anyone help identify maker and where I may find the intermediary wheel, bridge and hour wheel? Thanks in advance.

Can you provide a picture of the back of the movement. There mau be an identifying logo or characteristic to be found there.

 

[Peter W]

Here’s backplate Steve. Only mark is the number. The parts have a small 5 stamped in them. Tnx.

 

[Steven Thornberry]

Thanks. It's not one I recognize, but someone might. We have a number of users who are very familiar with German/Austrian clocks.

 

[Peter W]

Thanks all same. Though I’m only guessing it’s German or Austrian. It’s a nice little movement. Needs a pendulum too.

Could it be a Lenzkirch movement? Is that right spelling?

It's the right spelling, but I don't think this is one of theirs. But I'm always happy to proved wrong.

Tnx JTD. Do you know where I might get spares? The suspension spring and pendulum rod hang from the mounting not the back plate. If that helps any!

Suspension springs and pendulum rods are easily available from the usual clock materials suppliers. As you are in UK, you could try Meadows & Passmore in Brighton. (www.m-p.co.uk).

Tnx JTD, I really meant the intermediary wheel, bridge and hour wheel pinion. Any idea pendulum length?

You can't buy parts like that off the shelf. They would either have to come from a similar movement or made to measure (not cheap).
