Post your JUNGHANS clocks here

[new2clocks]

Luca, thank you for sharing the catalogs and Happy New Year to you!

I decided to add some info to my post, because today I found the model of this clock, on a 1932's catalogue.
the name of the model is Milano.
I discovered that, unfortunately, the dial of my clock is not the original one.

It is possible that the 1929 version of your clock (we are assuming your clock was made in 1929, based on the date code) was different than the 1932 version.

Nevertheless, your box clock has a very attractive door. Most box clocks are much more plain than your clock.

Regards.

Hello all. I recently received a Junghans clock as a gift, and I was curious about the age of the clock. From previous posts, I have learned that the logo on the movement was used from 1890 to 1900. There is no date code in the format A 02 for example, but there are other inscriptions on the movement.



The case is the same as Moe Schmidt's (post #237) which was identified by any400day as "Klein Turka" Model No. 2864, and he included the 1894 Junghans catalog page (post #240). This satisfied my curiosity about age.



I noticed that the dial and hands of my clock are different than Moe's & Junghans catalog. Also the movement is different.



Can anyone tell me who this is please?



I would love to know your thoughts about this clock. Thank you, Joe

Welcome to the forum.

I have learned that the logo on the movement was used from 1890 to 1900.

To be more precise, that trademark was registered in 1890 (or 1891 - I am not sure without researching). Junghans commenced date coding their clocks in 1901 until the 1950s or so.

Therefore, a movement with that trademark (the "Unghans over a J within a star") and no date code was most likely manufactured between 1890 (or 1891) and 1900.

there are other inscriptions on the movement.

Hand written inscriptions are known only to those who inscribed them.

the 1894 Junghans catalog page

A catalog from 1894 proves that the clock model was offered in 1894. Most likely, it was offered in xxx many years before and after the catalog date. With respect to your clock, it was most likely made between 1891 and 1900, but with catalog proof, it is quite reasonable to state your clock was made in 1894. This range of years could be the reason that:

movement is different.

Regards.

new2clocks... thank you for that information

Picked this up at the local flee market, I guess it dates back to 1939 according to the marking inside the box.
I restored the box, fixed a broken spring in the clockwork. It keeps correct time and has a wonderful chime.

Hi everyone,
I've found this movement that's marked B33 V , it uses the round wire levers like the older models I think but I cant find any model with the 33 on the markinks.
Thanks in advice, I'd be very happy if some could help me in my research

Lorenzo,

Welcome to the forum.

Your movement appears to be only the second Italian made, non-swinger Junghans movement that has appeared on these forums.

Like the other Italian made non-swinger, the date coding protocol appears different than the German made movements. For the production year 1933, the date coding protocol for German made movements was "two digit year [space] one or two digit month". Your movement shows a dating protocol of "B33", which implies that your movement was made in the second half of the year 1933. The other Italian made, non-swinger movement we have seen follows this same dating protocol.

The letter "V" also shows on the Italian movements and not the German movements.

Please show pictures of the complete clock.

Regards.

Thank you for the super fast reply.
The italian origin of the movement makes sense because I'm from Italy and the clock was owned previusly by my grandfather.
Now the movement is in pieces because I'm trying to restore a gear that is unfortunatly broken, but here some photos of the case and the clock face.
When the restoration is complete I'll post the result.
Thank you again,
Lorenzo

Lorenzo,

The style of your clock is known as a "box clock". The style of your clock and the dial fit quite well in the 1933 time frame.

Now the movement is in pieces because I'm trying to restore a gear that is unfortunatly broken

If you need any assistance in repairing your clock, we have many well qualified folks here who can help you and will be very happy to assist. Any clock repair / restoration questions should be posted to the "Clock Repair" forum.

Regards.

I just picked this clock up. I was told it had not worked for years, possibly overwound. I set it up, wound it, put it roughly in beat and it has been ticking merrily along ever since. Only problem is that it recently struck 51 o'clock, so I may have some adjustments to do.

I think it appears to be from 1908. I know it need a good cleaning and going over, but I thought I would see what else I might be able to learn about it.

 

[new2clocks]

Yes, the movement is from the second half of 1908.

A very nice example of a quartz 1970s junghans quartz quattro phon, works perfect, clean as can be, it is said to be very rare, have not seen another.

Whether it is rare or not I do not know, but quartz clocks unfortunately have very little demand.

I do know quartz clocks are of low demand, what surprised me is the condition of the clock, for being 43yrs old,

 

[new2clocks]

Yes, it is in very fine condition and is a good looking clock.

Do the weights rise and descend?

I have never seen a Junghans branded quartz clock before.

No, unfortunately the weights are static, but the pendulum does swing when pushed with the hand, but as of yet I am not sure if it is supposed to swing mechanically by the movement, still trying to sort it out. I was looking for a accurate quartz clock and came across this one. I can not find a flaw on the clocks dial or case anywhere.

The chimes should sound very nice, especially on the Quattro Phon (Which yours is). I say to keep the clock you have. They are quite uncommon around where I live, or in the US. These movements are superior anything that retails today anywhere. Take good care of it (They are quite unfixable if broken) and definitely enjoy it.

The chimes do sound really good for a quartz, there is a manufacture stamp on the back with a production number of 390/4003, looks like only 4003 of this particular clock was manufactured, one of the selling points was the movement, I looked for sometime a moderen day quartz clock with a nice movement but nothing caught my attention, thank you for the heads up on the fix ability, this will stay in my collection.

I came across this helpful information on what appears to be most of if not all Junghans quartz clocks, to correct my earlier statement on production number 390/4003 it seems to be a model number and not the number of this particular clock manufactured, here is the info to help anyone with a Junghans quartz.

Welcome to the forum, Mikey.

'A09' is not a model number, but a date code.

Your clock was made in the first half of the year 1909.
