Hi I want to buy this clock and I need informations about this clock.

It's a German box clock, probably 1920s, but your photos can't be enlarged so can't tell you much more. What nformation do you want?

what is the trademark
why is the dial frame no brass(frame is fake?)
there is no decoration on red marks

1. I can't see any trade mark - but again, your photos don't enlarge. However, Tatyana has idenfied the movement as being made by Mauthe.
2. The dial surround isn't brass because the manufacturer decided to use another material. Certainly not 'fake'.
3. Because your pictures won't enlarge I can't see if there are traces of decoration in the places you indicated with red marks. But if they were there, they have obviously dropped off.

I believe there were no additional decorations on this case.
If you add garland above the dial, the clock will lose its elegance.

3 rods bim-bam strike was known as the Divina Gong in Mauthe literature. The plain gong casting would correspond to the 1930's patterns.
4 rods bim-bam is similar, but known as the Mignon Gong and has a different sound.

Many of the 1930's German cases were very plain in appearance but well constructed.

Sure looks like there are faint shadows and tack holes were something used to be affixed above the face.

I thought so too, but if there were further trims, they're gone now.

Carvings were typically molded from patterns and attached with tacks or wood glue. Once in a while they'll be hand-carved instead.
If you find any prominent pinholes or traces of old glue, it would have had an arched crest like this one:

Yes, that's very possible. Your clock's movement looks like a Mauthe andthe dial and case are very similar.
