TÜRLER

Just bought this for 25 sf at a flea market. Runs well and living in switzerland and this being a swiss clock, expected to find some info, but nothing is online except that the company still exists and they do high end watches and jewellery Any one seen one before.It strikes hours and half hours.

Not come across one before, looks 1950s or so.

Have sent email to the company will see what happens. Good guess with the 50s. Nice veneer but shabby feet and inside work, mech is neat.

this being a swiss clock,

I agree it was sold by a Swiss company but I am less certain that the clock itself is Swiss. I suspect the movement may be German, and I feel I have seen it before, but I can't identify it.

Others may know better.

I have a Turler, says swiss on dial, 8 days 16 jewels, its a alarm clock as well. Never found out much on Turler.

 

[scrumpy111]

Will wait for a reply and it could be that it was just sold by Turler.

I have a Turler watch around here somewhere... When I looked into it, I found out that they are a jewelry and watch company in Switzerland - comparable to Cartier or Tiffany.

It looks like they were established in 1883 in Biel. They probably retailed your clock.

The circular cutout below the suspension bridge, along with the suspension bridge, reminds me of Kienzle, but I am not 100% sure.

There appears to be numbers inscribed on the lower right of the backplate that could correspond to the technical data shown on other Kienzle movements. Perhaps the OP could provide a better picture of all markings on the backplate.

Regards.

Had email contact with the boss himself Franz Tuerler and they have no old catalogues on old clocks, but he asked me send photos and they may be able to date it.

Turler signed Pateks are extremely desirable.

So the boss sent me an email and he said the clocks were bought in from different manufactures and sold as tuerler. Hence no catalogues Never mind still a goody.

That web page did not load for me, but it may be an issue on my end. I wonder if this is the same family name seen on a small number of mid-century (+/-) Universal Geneve wristwatch models like their tri-compax and some over-jeweled micro rotor models?

No, it doesn't work at the moment, although I viewed it with no trouble a couple of days at the moment. Seems to down at present.

Türler are an old-established business and likely are the same as on the models you mention.
