Junghans B32 Bear clock

[tcozz]

Hello!

My late father left me this clock (by the pictures, it appears to be a Junghans Wurttemberg from 1932).

If I remove the back plate, I can tease the movement to tick for a few seconds, but then it stops. I would very much like to have this beauty back in working order (I believe the disk at the top of the second photo actually strikes the top of enclosure as part of the alarm).

I live in coastal North Carolina and am searching for a reputable repair shop to send it to (the only one in my area said that it'd be 3-5 months before they even could take a look at it).

Please reply here with your comments - or to me personally at *****@*****.tld with suggestions about next steps. Thank you.

Hi what is it you want to do ? Find a repair agent or have a look yourself.  If it is the latter you need to remove the movement from the case then remove the hands and dial leaving the bare movement.  The cheap and easy way is to clean the clock as is with paraffin or petrol and leave to dry. After first removing the power of the mainspring .  Then oil with light machine oil and give it a run.  Alternatively it will need dismantling and cleaning, re assembling and lubricating either by yourself or a professional, it’s a choice only you can make. If you choose the latter we the members will be here to help.

I believe that movement has an alarm feature, most of the clock guys I know are backed up for a while, I know a young man [and grandfather] that might could help if you don't want to tackle it yourself, his name is Grant Wood, he lives in Advance, NC not far from me, we both belong to NAWCC and the Golden Triad Watchmakers Guild ....
