Magnificent antique German mechanical mantel clock manufactured by Hamburg Amerikanische Uhrenfabrik (HAU) featuring the trademark crossed arrows logo, circa 1925–1930. Housed in a solid oak case displaying clean geometric lines characteristic of the late Art Deco and transitional modernist period. The horizontally-oriented dial features visible wear and surface scuffs, clear numerals, and a hinged glass front door. Equipped with an 8-day spring-driven movement delivering the melodious Westminster chime across multiple acoustic rods every fifteen minutes. This timepiece is fully operational, and rich acoustic resonance.
Winding: Use the provided original key. This is a Three-Train movement:
Left hole: Strikes the hours.
Center hole: Powers the timekeeping.
Right hole: Powers the Westminster melody.
Wind until you feel firm resistance, but do not force it.
Setting the Time: Always turn the minute hand clockwise. Allow the clock to finish its full melody at each quarter-hour (15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes) before moving to the next position. This ensures the chime synchronization remains perfect.
Dimensions (cm): 38x24x16
Dimensions (inch): 15x9x6
Clock weight with movement approximately 4.0 kg.
An exceptional historic horological instrument perfectly suited as an authentic decorative centerpiece, a functional collector's item, or as a period prop for film and theatrical studio productions.
Good antique condition. The dial shows signs of wear and surface scratches.
