Junghans thrift store find

[LittleWatchShop]

Picked it up yesterday for $60.  It is what my Dad called a "Bim Bam" strike. Frankly I did not know that was a proper description until I just now googled it.

The chime and timing train appear to be functional.  Just needs a good service!

Nice beveled glass and a good wood finish.  The dial has suffered the effects of time, but that is OK.

Like I need another clock...but this one sounds soooooo pretty.

Made July 1928

Yes that is a Bim Bam and you can remove both barrels without taking the rest of the movement apart. Should have a duration of around 8 days.

The bim bam strike is beautiful.  On some of my clocks, the tines and/or the hammer interface sound a little rough (I could probably fix that but I haven't) but this thing is very pleasing to the ear.

The type of sound you get from any clock that strikes or chimes can depend on the case right down to the style or type of wood.
