Retake: Mid 1910s Kienzle Westminster Chimes Bracket Clock

#Vintagewatch #AntiqueClock #HistoryDesign #VintageClock
Here is a Westminster chiming, beehive-style bracket clock, made by Kienzle Uhren around 1915 or so. Although I have done a video on this clock before, I thought it's worth revisiting, particularly now that the clock is functioning at its best since I first obtained it back in the summer of 2021.
The clock features a solidly built three-train, spring-powered pendulum movement, which runs the usual eight plus days per winding. It plays the Westminster quarters every fifteen minutes on four beautifully resonant chime rods, and also strikes the number of hours on a fifth.
This being an older Kienzle, it does not come with a chime syncing feature. Likewise, while it does offer a chime silencing option via one of the two subdials at the tup (the other being for time regulation), this only lifts away the four quarter chiming hammers, while still sounding the hour strikes.

Since the last video I made of this clock, I have been able to have the split at the top of the case repaired, vastly improving the resonance of the chimes. I have also replaced the chime hammers with leather-tipped ones, found an appropriate pendulum, and, most importantly, replaced the original broken suspension spring.
In the last week, the clock has run very strongly, chimes beautifully, and now looks and functions splendidly. Very happy to have it fully back to life.
