Recommended Posts

Hello..

I am salman from indonesia. newbie, but Still want to know more about antique wall clocks...

Oh... Can anyone give me a picture of the original shape of my stuff?

the back movement plate has the sunset logo.

It had lost the bottom of its body casing. But I have no idea, what it looks like

I really want to return it to its original appearance

Thanks very much. Salman

Hi the logo states as you found out  its By Thomas  Ernst Haller of Schwenningen  Germany, The Kienzle watch factory also Schwennigen used a similare mark registered in 1952.     43 C/m  is the pendulum length  D.R.G.M is a design patent Deutsche Reich Gebraumiester.     Trade mark was redistered in 1904.  Thos Haller was bought by Kienzle factory in 1928 hence the similar logo.

Thank you for the information.
Besides that, I'm also looking for references about the shape of the bottom of the box.
As you can see, the bottom of the watch case is missing. And I have no idea about it

Hi  there are as many designs as there are clocks some are plain and simple others ornate and reflect the design of the top, others are plain flat tops with an ornate moulding. as you can appreciate from the examples its difficult to pin down any one design. But looking at your clock I would assume it was something like a moulding reflecting the design of the top.

I also think so...
It's just that, I haven't found a design that matches the top. I've looked a lot on pinterest, but haven't found one yet

Oh...and Thank you for some of the pictures you've provided. I appreciate it

That tells me a lot. It also has to be in keeping with the top, so not to be over powering to the eye.

This is a photo of the sort of bottom you should consider, I can see by your photo it is almost the width of the case. Old glue marks can tell you a lot.
