Thanks, Tommy! I also very much enjoy the nicely toned rods. Likewise with your own collection! That Waterbury clock you got recently as well as that very solid wall clock are very fascinating.
Nice addition as always! You're correct, 1942 is the date this movement was made. I have that same Plymouth clock with the movement dated December 1941.
Thanks Clock 1010 for the confirmation! I know that you bought one of these before me, but I wanted to get the one at our local clock shop because the different movement design was very interesting to me.
Beautiful piece, Danny :) The case looks quite appealing. And the movement is very interesting aswell. Just one question: When the hour snail is on the 1/2/3 o'clock step, how does the quarter mechanism work? I'm probably just tired but I can't figure out how the gathering pallet picks the rack up in these situations without striking the wrong quarter... Mid-century clocks are also my favourites :) Especially the ones from Junghans and Mauthe. Great addition as always!
Hey, Luka! That's a valid point you make that I overlooked! Hmm... My guess would be that there's actually slots in the hour snail just for the 1, 2 and 3 o'clock positions. Unlike in the older Plymouth that has slots in the snail between every single hour. Maybe this clock uses a few special slots in the hour snail just for the first couple hours, and then it's a normal shaped snail the rest of the way around and primarily utilises the minute snail for the rest of the hours.
@@DannysClocks Ok :) It makes perfect sense and I should have thought about that, considering that I have seen that weird snail in your older Plymouth. Thanks for your answer!
I think this is actually the case! If you look up Plymouth 4601 or alternatively Plymouth Quarter Striking Movement you can find images of the front of this clock and see the special slots in the very beginning of the snail.
I haven't a new clock to show so I figured I shouldn't make a new video. I've been focusing on another hobby of mine I'm passionate about for the past couple of months. But I do think an update video is warranted :)
