This original Junghans ATO magnetic pendulum clock from the 1950s to early 1960s combines clear Mid-Century design with distinctive electric pendulum technology. Warm brass, a restrained dial and the protective glass dome give it a calm, sculptural presence on a sideboard, chest of drawers or bookshelf.

With its slender form and softly gleaming brass surfaces, the clock suits both classic and contemporary interiors. The glass dome leaves the magnetic pendulum visible, making it the focal point of the design.

Origin and dating

The clock was made by Uhrenfabriken Gebrüder Junghans in Schramberg, in Germany’s Black Forest. The dial bears the inscriptions “Junghans ATO” and “Made in Germany.”

The name ATO refers to the French watchmaker Léon Hatot. In the 1920s, Hatot and engineer Marius Lavet developed an electromagnetic pendulum clock. Junghans later manufactured ATO clocks under licence in Germany.

Movement and technology

Inside is an electric ATO movement with a magnetic pendulum. A permanent magnet on the pendulum is kept in motion by short electromagnetic impulses. The system combines the steady movement of a pendulum with electric drive.

Case, dial and design

The round dial, with raised Arabic numerals and slender brass hands, sits in front of a rectangular brass movement frame. Below it, the magnetic pendulum swings with its two cylindrical weights. The glass dome encloses and protects the movement while keeping the mechanism in view.

The clear geometry and the combination of brass, glass and a restrained dial reflect the understated elegance of the Mid-Century era.

Condition and servicing

The movement has been professionally cleaned and newly oiled. The electrical contacts have been cleaned and adjusted. The clock runs reliably and keeps good time.

The brass case has been carefully cleaned and shows patina and age-related signs of use. The original dial and base also show signs of use. The brass sleeve on the right-hand coil holder is damaged underneath; the area is barely visible. The photographs form part of the description.

Power

The clock requires one AA battery, which is not included. A written guide to setting up and operating the clock is supplied.

Legal Guarantee & Commercial Guarantee

For Buyers outside the European Union

For buyers outside the European Union, AntiguoShop provides a voluntary one-year commercial guarantee on the purchased clock, starting from the date the clock is received.

The guarantee covers the repair of the clock free of charge by AntiguoShop or by a specialist repairer appointed by AntiguoShop.

The voluntary guarantee does not cover normal wear and tear resulting from age or use, or parts subject to wear. These include, in particular, mainsprings, suspension springs, isochronism springs and other auxiliary springs, cables and cords, as well as electrical contacts. The voluntary guarantee also does not cover damage resulting from improper handling or operation, incorrect installation or commissioning, or damage caused by external influences.

The consumer's statutory rights in respect of defects remain unaffected.

The buyer is responsible for the cost of shipping the clock to AntiguoShop and for the return shipping costs.

If a repair is technically impossible or economically unreasonable, an appropriate individual solution will be agreed with the buyer. This voluntary guarantee does not give rise to any entitlement to a refund of the purchase price.

The voluntary guarantee exists in addition to any statutory rights in respect of defects. The exercise of statutory rights in respect of defects is free of charge, and these rights are not restricted by the voluntary guarantee.

To make a claim under the guarantee, please contact AntiguoShop by email at info@antiguoshop.de. Please provide the order number and describe the problem as precisely as possible. Photos or a short video may be helpful in assessing the problem.
