Description from the seller
MASTERPIECE OF TIME: Rare 1920s HAU Pendulum Clock – A Piece of Black Forest History
A unique opportunity for collectors and outstanding antique lovers.
Step into the magnetic charm of the 1920s with this extraordinary original wall clock. It’s not just a piece of furniture, but a real time machine that holds the golden age of German mechanical clockmaking.
A rare piece, intact in its majesty and ready to become the absolute centerpiece of your home or your collection.
WHY THIS CLOCK IS AN EXTRAORDINARY INVESTMENT
Certified Authenticity: On the back, the legendary original brand "Pfeilkreuz" (Crossed Arrows) with the word Original is burned in. A guarantee seal that attests to its absolute genuineness from the era.
Magnetic Aesthetics: The case in precious dark wood boasts splendid fluted pilasters and a finely hand-carved upper crown. A perfect meeting point between strict artisanal tradition and the early hints of early geometric pre-Art Deco style.
Stage Presence: The square dial with period Arabic numerals encapsulates the charm of the charging holes. At the bottom, the glass window reveals the pendulum lens in polished brass, whose hypnotic beat adds a warm, timeless atmosphere to any environment.
TECHNICAL DETAILS AND CONDITION
Manufacture: Hamburg-Amerikanische Uhrenfabrik (HAU / HAC)
Era: Circa 1920-1925
Materials: Solid wood case, vintage dial with Arabic numerals, original brass pendulum.
External condition: The wooden cabinet is in splendid cosmetic condition. It carries the magnificent original patina of time that authenticates its age and enhances its historical charm.
Mechanism condition: The mechanical movement is healthy, intact, and complete with all its original components.
Currently the clock starts and runs for a few seconds before the pendulum stops: a classic behavior for vintage mechanisms that have been left idle for a long time, caused simply by the natural thickening of old lubricants or a slight misalignment.
It only needs a standard and economical routine service (mechanistic cleaning and re-lubrication) by a watchmaker or enthusiast to return to keeping time for the next hundred years!
This piece is a joy for any hobbyist or watchmaker: it does not require expensive repairs or rare spare parts, but only a cleaning and fine adjustment to unleash its full potential and see its market value double!
