A Westminster chiming mantel clock, made by the Kienzle Clock company out of Germany between 1928-1932. This clock features a large, classic tambour or Napoleon hat case, a large dial, and engraved Arabic numerals, pointed by steel minute and hour hands. This unit retains its bezel and domed glass, which is in good shape and shuts correctly over the dial. Inside the case beats a three-train, spring-powered, pendulum movement, which runs for eight days on a winding. The clock plays progressively longer segments of the Westminster melody, on very long and deep-sounding chime rods. At the top of the hour it plays the full tune, then strikes the number of hours on a simply superb-sounding, three-note chord. This is in contrast to my 1927 Kienzle clock, which only strikes on a single chime rod. In addition, the chime assembly on this clock is different from the older clock, with rods that are slightly longer, and correspondingly lower in pitch. Sadly, two of the original five rods were broken when I found this clock, necessitating an entire replacement set, made and tuned in the same way as the original Urgos-made gong. Finally, this later Kienzle movement features a chime correction mechanism not present in the 1927 unit, which helps synchronize the chimes with the correct quarter should they go out of sync. While not being particularly remarkable, either visually or mechanically, this clock is a perfect example of what Kienzle chiming clocks are known for... The exquisitely warm, rich, deep timbre of its chimes. The length of the case, thick leather hammer heads, and very long chime rods all combine to produce a low, mellow, velvety tone that fills a room, without necessarily overwhelming the listener. Combined with the slow and stately cadence of the chimes, this makes this clock one of my all-time favorite in my entire collection.
