Description from the seller
Exquisite 400-day torsion pendulum desk clock mechanical clock, manufactured in Germany in the 1950s by the renowned firm Kundo (Kieninger & Obergfell).

It is an object rich in sentimental value, coming from a family heirloom. We are putting it up for auction with the hope that collectors and time enthusiasts can enjoy it and integrate it into their home as we have.

Important note for transport and calibration
Please note that we are private individuals and not clockmakers. Torsion clocks are sophisticated mechanisms highly sensitive to movement. Due to the vibrations inherent in postal transit, it is common for such pieces to require a small adjustment or leveling at the destination to recalibrate its timekeeping after delivery. Any technical misadjustment or calibration needs that arise during the journey will be the sole responsibility of the buyer.
The lot will be packed with maximum protection, carefully secured, and the pendulum safeguarded to prevent damage to the suspension spring during shipment.
