THIS IS AN ANTIQUE LARGE ART DECO “MAUTHE” CARVED WALNUT WALL CLOCK. THE 8 DAY DOUBLE TRAIN SPRING DRIVEN MOVEMENT IS IN TERRIFIC RUNNING CONDITION WITH AN AMAZING “BIM-BAM” STRIKE. THIS IS A LARGE REGULATOR WALL CLOCK! THIS CLOCK HAS A PATENTED CHIME BLOCK BY FRIEDRICH MAUTHE THAT READS “DIVINA”. (TRANSLATES TO DIVINE, STAR OR GODLIKE IN GERMAN) THE MOVEMENT DOES NOT HAVE THE TRADITIONAL FMS EAGLE STAMPED ON IT, JUST A SERIAL NUMBER. THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON BECAUSE FOR A WHILE THEY WERE PRODUCING UNSIGNED MOVEMENTS FOR EXPORT TO OTHER CLOCK COMPANIES. THE GERMAN MAUTHE CLOCK FEATURES: A CARVED WALNUT CASE WITH A CASKET OR COFFIN STYLE BACK, A REALLY NEAT ROUND GLASS PEEP HOLE ON THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE COFFIN BACK, ORIGINAL THICKLY BEVELED GLASS IN THE DOOR, RIBBED MOLDING ON THE DOUBLE HOOK DOOR, 3 CHIME RODS FOR THE “BIM-BAM” STRIKE, A FANTASTIC RUNNING DOUBLE TRAIN MOVEMENT, A LARGE SILVERED SIGNED DIAL WITH CIVILIAN & MILITARY TIME (PRETTY RARE), THE ORIGINAL DECO STEEL HANDS, THE ORIGINAL LARGE BEVELED BRASS PENDULUM, AND A KEY. THE CARVED WALNUT WOOD CASE (SOMETIMES REFERED TO AS THEIR BOX COLLECTION OF REGULATORS) IS IN REALLY GOOD CONDITION WITH VERY LIGHT WEAR. THE DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES NICELY WITH A DOUBLE HOOK LATCH. THE ART DECO STYLE CASE HAS A CARVED ORNATE DESIGN ON THE TOP ALONG WITH RIBBED MOLDING ON THE DOOR. THE BACK BRACKET WAS MADE TO RETRACT IN CASE THE OWNER WANTED TO HAVE THE CLOCK SIT ON A SHELF INSTEAD OF HANG. IT WOULD BE A VERY TALL SHELF CLOCK BUT IT WAS A SMART DESIGN AT THE TIME. THE BACK OF THE CASE HAS A COFFIN DESIGN WITH A ROUND GLASS PEEPHOLE TO PEER INTO THE MOVEMENT ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE LARGE ROUND SILVERED DIAL IS SIGNED WITH LIGHT WEAR. IT HAS REGULAR ARABIC NUMERALS ALONG WITH MILITARY TIME…. THE ORIGINAL STEEL PIN-SET HANDS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION. THE PENDULUM IS THE ORIGINAL BRASS PENDULUM WITH BEVELED EDGES. THE GERMAN MOVEMENT IS IN WONDERFUL RUNNING CONDITION AND IS VERY EASY TO BALANCE ON THE WALL. THE CLOCK HAS 3 HAMMERS THAT STRIKE CHIME RODS CREATING A “BIM-BAM” STRIKE. IT COUNTS THE HOURS WITH A SINGLE HALF-HOUR BIM-BAM STRIKE. EVERYTHING IS IN PROPER WORKING CONDITION.
