Junghans

[Klaas]

Today's found:

The movement is Junghans.
Is there anybody who can tell more about the movement?
Type, year of manufacturing. That kind of info.
Some parts are missing or broke.
The horse is also in pieces
All info is welcome.
Thankyou very much,

Klaas

The Junghans trademark on your movement was registered in 1890. Junghans commenced date coding most of their movements in 1901. Your movement does not have a date code (as best as I can see), so your clock was made between 1890 and 1900.

This time period fits with the style of your case. Do you have a picture of the dial?

Regards.

In my opinion. the case looks fine as it is, without the topper.

It is a good-looking clock!

If you can calculate the BPM and pendulum length from known points, you can get very close and adjust from there. I simply put a dot on a tooth with a black felt tipped marker and count from there during regular service. I think the pendulum you have (if you have it?) will be good enough to get started. If you do not have it, or parts are absent. the distance from the formula (website, above) is a theoretical length from about where the spring at the top "flexes" to the "center" of the weight on the pendulum. It's rough, but will get you close enough and you can count the beats per minute by ear in a minute and go from there. I try to get the supplementary lengths of missing parts to bring the total pendulum length close to the center area of the adjustment rating nut. This gives you room to compensate for winter and summer pretty well.

Hope this translates well into Dutch for you.
