Kriegsmarine KM Clocks

[ranger]

Take it to a profesional horologist, if its the barrel spring this should not be a problem.

The silvered dial can be restored by simply applying more silver solution. It will only take to the exposeed brass areas the results are really good. Again only a professional can do it properly. Also there is a simple form of maintaining power fitted. This keeps force on the drive when winding as all clocks actually loose time when wound watch the hands when you wind a clock.

Hi Ranger,

I've just opened up the small bakelite clock and have discovered what the problem is. The spring is OK but this metal plate has shattered from metal fatigue and he was unable to replace it.

Any suggestions anyone?

Looks like a die cast material. You may have to make up a new piece or try gluing together with weldbond the metal pieces?

Very nice, what are the enamel plaques from?

Nice traed with beutiful shippclocks.

I have one myself (www.kriegsmarine.biz) and I can

agree the prices moves quickly up.

One question is about the clocknumbers. My

But is there somewhere an owerview where all this

number where placed?

It would be nice to know where the clocks han been working

Hi!

Yes indeed! 12408 N is the result of a complete restoration! The dial was resilvered and repainted by a professional! I also have a big picture archive only of these clocks. If you can contribute more Kieninger & Obergfell clocks please do so. Thank you in advance!

Cheers, Florian

Hi Florian,

Here are the additional photos you asked for of my example. First the close up of the eagle and number.

Serial numbers on the door lock (both 70, but on one the "0" is clogged with dirt.

Matching serial "70" on the hinge mechanism.

What a great pleasure to find more enthusiasts for these very special clocks.

Just bought my second one only yesterday, which was found in the Ukraine. This particular clock has the N/G stamp. (my other clock has the N number and is supposed to have been salvaged from operation 'deadlight').

Hope you enjoy!

Hello Gentlemen,

I have been offered the opportunity to purchase an Imperial Navy clock which has been re stamped with KM eagle, these must be scarce pieces i think, would you agree?

I do not have pictures at the moment but will post them as soon as i can.

Regards.

Colin.

The ultimate clock!!!

Hallo Gents,

Is it at all possible to research the history of a specific clock by the serial number on the face ? I'm doubtful if such records would exist for particular numbers, but perhaps by groups ?

Also could anyone tell me what to look for when purchasing one? I am always looking and would like to have a better understanding of these before I have the good luck to find one. Any comments on fakes as well would be appreciated.

Many Thanks - Jesse
