Description from the seller
Original Wehle Art Deco mantel clock – Germany, 1940s – Fully functional
Presenting an elegant Wehle mantel clock, an authentic expression of German watchmaking excellence. Made in the historic town of Furtwangen, in the heart of the Black Forest, it comes from one of the world's most renowned regions for mechanical clock production.
Dated to the late 1930s to early 1940s, this clock represents a refined example of the Art Deco style, featuring a wooden case with harmonious lines, the original dial with stylized numerals, and elegant cut-out hands.
The movement is manual-wind mechanical, with a running time of about eight days, equipped with a striking mechanism for the hours and half-hours and a power reserve indicator— a high-value technical solution that testifies to the superior build quality of the Wehle manufactory.
Conditions
Fully functional
Original movement
Regular chime
Wood case in excellent condition
Dial, glass, and bezel original
Exceptional conservation
This clock is far more than a simple timekeeper: it is a testament to German clockmaking art of the twentieth century. Built in an era when precision, material quality, and durability were fundamental values, it still preserves today all the charm and elegance of Black Forest artisanal production.
Ideal for collectors, vintage clock enthusiasts, or anyone wishing to adorn their space with an authentic historical object. The combination of refined Art Deco design, perfect mechanical efficiency, and excellent preservation makes this Wehle mantel clock a piece of great charm, increasingly hard to find in such original and perfectly functioning condition.
