My dream chiming clock finally arrived!

[Isaac]

Hey all,

When I first started collecting clocks at 13, I've always wanted to get my hands on a 3 train Winterhalder & Hoffmeier that chimes & strikes on coiled gongs. Unfortunately, a lot of those clocks were too far out of reach in price (and I had tons to yet learn about clocks & repair in general), and the ones that were at a decent price range were usually parts/spares clocks that were extremely beat up.

Go forward 9 years, and now I've finally got a very nice 3 train W&H chiming clock. Uber quality as expected, and it's been well cared for during its lifetime. Movement is marked with the usual "W&H SCH" marking at the bottom.

Let me know what you guys think!

And of course, a video of the clock chiming and striking. The chime train is a bit run down in the video (wound it up afterwards), so the strike comes a bit early at the end of the 4th quarter. Wonderful bell-like sound from the coiled gongs.

That's a fantastic clock, you don't find them in the Gothic style cases every day. It's always a surprise when such a small clock produces a deep-voiced chime. Sounds just like Big Ben.

I think as collectors we all have our unicorns that we chase. Once in a while it works out where you catch one! Congrats on catching yours

Thanks! Indeed - it was a long hunt for this unicorn but it's all well worth it.

Paid quite a bit for ours... 8 bells and 5 gong chime. Bought it purely for the sound. Tried to download a video but says file is too large. Will see if I can make it smaller.
