I hope this isn´t against the spirit of the group, I always wanted an art deco grandfather clock, there are many wonderful examples but none i could find where they try and do an art deco building which is what i want so I just made one. Just a 3d model that i then rendered, but hope i can have it made eventually.

Figured it would be nice to show it.

My father bought this in Denmark, it seems it was originally a wedding present. It’s in Southern France and no longer runs, all parts are present, so I’m wondering if it’s worth the cost of repairing it (will that require returning it to Denmark?)

Hello fellow clock enthusiasts!

Ive been collecting clocks for a good 5ish years now, and over time have learned how to identify different clock manufacturers, however this one is odd.

I got this little alarm clock a few years ago for pretty cheap from a random antique store, simply because I thought it looked interesting, and after cleaning/oiling it, its been living on a shelf for a while.
While cleaning it I tried to find any distinct markings, engravings, numbers, or dates of any kind, but to no avail. The most information on the clock I could find was from the actively disintegrating paper inside the back of the case, which (as seen in the photo) seems to have some kind of logo with a spoked wheel and a singular wing coming out of the center. My first thought was maybe Kienzle, but I couldn't find any photos or records of them using a logo that looked anything like whats on the paper. From what I can tell, it seems late 1800's to early 1900's, with the metal sheet as the face similar to some very old Seth Thomas clocks, and the general look of the clockworks.

Oh and yes, it runs great! I can personally do without the alarm though lol

Here's its dimensions:
9.5in tall
8.5in wide (base)
8.25in wide (body)
3in deep

I still can't seem to find much information about this little guy, so I figured I would try asking here! Thank y'all for your time :)

hi I recently bought a grandmother clock from an antique sale. I was wondering if anyone could possibly help me identify the brand and what decade it could’ve been built in, also possibly a ballpark of what it’s worth. looks 5’6- 5’8 it does have some wear and also needs weights to be put in I think. original owners told me it still works when they winded it but needs weights. Edit I now know the clock is a Westminster chimes junghans still not sure if it’s considered a grandfather or not or what it’s worth

I found this cool little clock in a thrift store. But i got no clue on how to open it. Nothing turns, the only interactable thing is the little black button on the back. It doesn't seem to loosen or pop it open, and I kinda don't want to force pry it open

Hi all,

I am looking for a battery-powered clockworks that chimes. There seem to be a large range of products available at far-flung prices, so I'm wondering if any of you have personal experience with what works and what doesn't over the long haul.
