Hi Vic,

Below are pictures of a Junghans WM chime tambour with B25 movement markings. I thought the original model label on the bottom was nice.


Best,

Vic
Thanks for the information. I took my magnifier and noticed that there is a number(serial?) 140 on the right side of the back of the movement.

Want to make sure this important effort is uplisted (so to speak).

For the first time, and with the help of the CD'd catalogues Vic is making available, it is becoming possible to establish some dating lines for what was once the largest clock manufactory in the world. That we've previously had so little in the way of dating guidelines has been both ironic and an irritation.

There are lots of Junghans clocks out there -- please help out.

Regards,
Zep

P.S. Below, an ad in the Deutscher Uhrmacher-Kalender für 1913. The largest clock factory in the world. Daily production 15,000 clocks.

 

Here are pics of the only 2 I have.

 

hey vic,

my junghans says A27
i've snapped some pics, later wil upload them.

now i've got a video of the hammer sequencing
the chimes at quarters are a bit off, i've taken a look and the thin foil on that side seems to be loose,...

alignment on the hammer and bars seems out,...
also the dial is not in position

this whole clocks needs alignment,...
oily oily inside,...

 

guyz,

 

Fobs, your clock could really use a good cleaning. Interesting setup with 8 hammers and 4 rods. Chime block appears built to have 5 rods, possibly to accomodate a different tune.

 

my neighbor sent his similar clock (8 hammers, 8 rods, westminter chime) for tuning/servicing/etc,...
when he gets the clock back, i'll see wat workmanship/price he gets,... then i'll send this,...

and old watch-repair uncle was also surprised when heard abt the 8 hammers and 4 rods,...

i'm not sure if this junghans have been rojak (mix-matched),...

our country is famous for mix-matching, let vic tell u guyz abt it.

vic vic, where are u?

 

They used 8 bar versions, too, on occasion.


Nice clock there.

 

thanx vic.

i think my rods are mis-located,... haha!
waiting for my neighbor's clock to come back, then i'll send mine for checking

err, any1 has any idea on how to convince my wife to let me hang the old clock in my new house?

 

You could tell her it's a good luck charm

 

thanx Vic
i'll get back to you on the chimes

 

That's a rare "Ave Maria" chime wall clock. Pretty unusual that it has a 6 note chord for the hours... Good find.

 

Wow - that's great to hear. It was my first clock purchase and I got it off eBay. I have to admit, it seemed to be "calling me" when I was looking. Just kept going back to it.

Any SWAG on value just to satisfy my own curiosity? Also, appreciate any other info or places where I might find pictures of similar clocks?

Like they say, "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then!"
Thanks!
Scott

 

Scott, we can't give any values on the board, but I can say it is worth what you paid for it.

 

Anyone know where I can get a grommet like the one pictured below? The face of my Junghans clock is missing one from around one of the keyholes on the dial.
Thanks!
Scott

 

My Junghans from about 1920. Non correcting westminster chime is sometimes a bit irritating.

 

my only Junghans which is to me a very nice
reminiscent of the Art deco / Bauhaus designs.
the size of the wood case is 20x10x5 cm except
the brass stand. hands and all digits all blued steel.

movement is an ATO-Mat W794 build from
1962 onwards. improved versions been used
especially in the very common Junghans kitchen
clocks of that decade.

I think I've got a very early version of it
because you have to 'ignite' the movement
through a small brass wire by a quick forth
and back flip (marked with a red X).

any400day -
would you please so kind providing me (?via PM) with
the page/excerpt of the original catalog subject you
may spot my clock on one of your CD's?

regards
Damian

 

Here is my B21 I just bought. Avery large clock 24 x 13 inches.

 

Nice one Harold, i would love one too.

 

No movement details as i forgot to write them down when i had it apart, but it was built first half of 1906:

I Have a Jughans B21 with the letter J Wall Clock . I would like to know more about it . Bob Hawkins

 

Welcome to the NAWCC message board! There are many knowledgeable people here that are willing to help you.

If you can post some pictures it will help identify your clock.

Best,

Richard T.

 

Hi, Robert, welcome. From the number B21, we can tell you that your clock was made in the second half of 1921. With a picture we might be able to give more information. Junghans was probably the largest clock company in the world at this time.

 

Here's one I just pick up yesterday for overhaul. I told the client the clock was probably 1900 to 1910, just based on the case design, and penduum bob. It appeared to me to be late period Eastlake, and the geometrics on the bob show the trend toward the Arts and Crafts Movement in furniture design.

When I got the movement out of it this morning, I was proven correct. It is a B09 movement, which I take to be the latter half of 1909. What is the significance of the 041/2 on the upper left of the rear plate?

 

Forgot to upload the picture of the bob. Here 'tis.

 

Dave, it looks like an early version of what evolved into the typical "box" clock of the 20's and 30's. I think the 41 would be pendulum length in cm's.

 

I have got an Junghans clock with mechanism B 09 see pictures but it looks a bit different to the ones I have seen here .

I bought mine on ebay about two weeks ago and I am very happy with it. The only problem I had so far was that it took me long time to get the clock settle but now seems ok . One think I can't work out is how to I set it to strike the quaters correctly at the moment it strikes about 1 minute before is due.

Many thanks

Max

 

Max, the minute hand is on a bushing that needs to be reset. See this thread for some instructions: https://mb.nawcc.org/showthread.php?t=50108

 

Thanks.
Max

 

The number is not 41. I guess my description left a little to be desired. It is oh-four and one half. I have attached a photograph of the numbers.

The pendulum measures 15 3/4 inches from the bottom of the suspension spring to the bottom of the rating screw. My HP46 calculator tells me that 15.75" = 40.005cm.

So I am still wondering what the numbers are supposed to mean.

 

I bought this one last year from a local seller, took some photos and packed it away without looking at it again. It really deserves to be serviced and set going, on display. Does the B42 code mean it was made in 2nd half of 1942? I thought it looked to be older.

Anything else you can tell me about it would be of great interest.

Hi All,

Attached photos of Junghans A07. Pictures are not the best quality cause I forgot my camera and did it with phone cam. The top part is missing

 

My 2 Junghans wall clocks.

 

My recently acquired Junghans. The movement is labeled A06 and 104 1/2. The chime says Gloria.

 

Here is a Junghans A09 movement that came into the shop yesterday, for movement overhaul and repair of the strike side weight shell. (The rod pulled through, and tore the bottom. I have to reshape and solder it.)
The woman who brought it in said her late husband made the case, when he was a high school student working part time at the Junghans factory, in 1909. She did not bring the case, but I have made arrangements to deliver the clock when it is finished, and will photograph it then. She was quite garrolous, and told me her whole life story, (her daughter kept trying to pry her away -- LOL) which was fascinating. She said she is only ninety, and her husband was twenty years her senior, when she married him and came to the United States in 1936.

 

any400day, thank you so much for the info!!! I know very little of the history of the clock, I would say a swap is entirely possible as it was likely picked up from an antique dealer 20 - 30 years ago. Although, if thats the case, why would the movement be marked 'A06'? Is that not 1906 then? Thanks for all your help, any other info you have would be great, I'd love to get my hands on these catalogues you have, are they available digital anywhere? Thanks!!
