ranger Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 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?Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austen Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin O. Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 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.

Jesse Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
