1930s F.M.S. (Mauthe) Westminster Chimes Mantel Clock

Welcome to the Singing Clockery, a channel dedicated to the sights and sounds of antique and vintage mechanical clocks.

Presented today is this mantel or shelf clock, made by the F.M.S. (Mauthe) clock company some time in the 1930s. My wife and I found this clock at a flea market a couple of weeks ago, where it was gifted to us as a wedding gift by the shop owner there. This is the third Mauthe clock in my collection, and it is always a pleasure discovering all the different ideas Mauthe brought to life in their clocks throughout the various decades. This particular clock features an elongated domed case, with curved trunks on either end, supported by two large wooden feet. The dial has a metal number ring with large Arabic numerals, while the dial center is wooden. Inside the case is a spring-powered, pendulum-driven mechanical movement, which runs for about eight days on a winding. This is a three-train movement, as the clock chimes progressively longer segments of the Westminster melody every fifteen minutes, on four chime rods. At the top of the hour it plays the full tune, followed by striking the number of hours on a three-note chord. The large chime block, along with the length of the case, are both instrumental in giving this clock a very rich sound with tons of resonance. Rather unusually, this clock is constructed so that the chime train is on the left-hand side of the movement, and the strike is on the right. I'm not sure why Mauthe chose to do this, although the idea didn't last too long, since my 1950s Mauthe mantel clock has the more expected setup of having the chime train on the right.
