Yeah, I know of both of these. Their Westminster chime movement is a literal copy of a french movement, and the one in the grandfather clock is very interesting, since it has steel plates. I've never seen any of those irl though :/
I have always liked the ultra-modern design of the Junghans wag on the wall clocks. Have you ever had a Metron loudspeaker wall clock? They are similar but they have Harrison's maintaining power and a Vienna dead beat escapement. The cases are plastic but the fronts are wood. I had one but I stupidly sold it.
@@TommyWylie I would love to have a Metron wag on the wall, but I can hardly find even a normal box clock from them, so I think getting one would take a while. I'll be on the look out though. The movement seems very interesting. I've never actually seen a movement in a clock of this type with a dead beat escapement and maintaining power.
Useful and delightful. With 0ricey, better clocks, I try to ascertain if an annular or perpetual calendar. We'd call the tune Kitty Can Can, but there is of course a correct title
@@Thanh-hunggg Vedette did make electric clocks with self-winding movements. So it's not made by me :) My clock uses a newer version of this movement, from about 1930-40, and they started making these in the late 1920s if I remember correctly :/
@@danhkhoanguyenofficial Yeh, it's electric. It's supposed to wind its self up every 12 hours, but I have to redo the wiring, so now I just wind it manually before going to sleep and in the morning ://
I showed the front in the first video about these clocks, so I didn't think I should show it again. Perhaps in the future I'll remake the video about each clock in particular and show it there.
I don't know... it simply is like that. Perhaps it is louder on the recording than in real life. Check if the gong is screwed in tightly, because if it is loose, the resonance won't be so good. Also check the lever of the hammer that interacts with the lifting wheel. It might be worn so the hammer doesn't lift that much.
