Fritz Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 A traditional ship's clock, not antique, purchased over 40 years ago at Optik Schröder, Dammtorstraße, Hamburg, complete with key for winding. It also has the "Glasen", bell sounds at each hour and half hour, which can be adjusted to auto or "off". Casing is in brass. Such nautical pieces were quite popular in the 70s locally. The clock is of the make of Hermle, probably little known today. Cost probably as much as a historical piece, at the time about DM 160,00 -which was a lot of money in those days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 The first clock is by "Junghans", who I believe, are still in business today. Shame that it has been defaced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Most antique clock dealers will be able to provide a suitable, fitting key. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
