The round dial, with its light-colored chapter ring and gold-tone hands, is set into a long, deep-brown case. Slim decorative lines and slightly splayed feet give the clock its distinctive mid-century look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts broad, low silhouette will look lovely on a sideboard or mantel. A small crocheted doily, a framed family photograph or a single piece of pottery can create a personal vignette while letting the clock remain the focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin and period\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clock dates from the 1960s and was made by Junghans in Schramberg in Germany’s Black Forest. Its clean lines and warm wood tones reflect the home and design style of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMovement and mechanism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside is the mechanical Junghans W 274\/210 movement. The Bim-Bam striking mechanism sounds on three chime rods. A membrane amplifies their vibrations, giving the chime a particularly full, resonant tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chime sounds once on the half hour and strikes the number of hours on the hour. A lever on the back, to the left of the door, switches the chime on or off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCase, dial and design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long wooden case frames the centrally positioned round dial. The light-colored chapter ring with Arabic numerals contrasts with the darker wooden centre; the gold-tone hands and fine decorative trim echo the lines of the case. The chapter ring shows slight variations in color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition and restoration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe movement has been fully dismantled, cleaned and serviced, professionally oiled, adjusted and tested. The clock runs very well and keeps accurate time. It is in very good condition. Age-related and use-related marks may be present; the photographs show the condition of the actual clock and form part of the description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOperation and chime\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can watch the clock in operation and hear the full sound of its Bim-Bam chime in our video.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVideo with sound: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/L8hRfFQsNAk\"\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/L8hRfFQsNAk\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptional conversion to a modern quartz movement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Junghans clock is suitable for conversion to a modern quartz movement, either with an electronic chime or without a chime.
