Description from the seller
MASTERPIECE OF TIME:
Rare 'HAU' Pendulum Clock from the 1920s – A Piece of Black Forest History
A unique opportunity for collectors and connoisseurs of exceptional antiques.
Step into the magnetic allure of the Roaring Twenties with this extraordinary original wall clock. It is not merely a piece of furniture, but a real time machine that encapsulates 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 mark "Pfeilkreuz" (Crossed Arrows) with the word Original is burned in. A seal of guarantee attesting to its absolute authenticity from the era.
Magnetic Aesthetics: The case in precious dark wood features splendid fluted pilasters and a finely hand-carved upper pediment. A perfect meeting point between strict artisanal tradition and the first hints of geometric pre-Art Deco style.
Stage Presence: The square dial with period Arabic numerals captures the charm of the winding holes. At the bottom, the glass window reveals the polished brass pendulum lens, whose hypnotic beating brings a warm, timeless atmosphere to any room.
TECHNICAL DETAILS AND CONDITION
Manufacture: Hamburg-American 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 bears the magnificent original patina of time that authenticates its age and enhances its historical charm.
Movement condition: The mechanical movement is sound, 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 era mechanisms that have been left idle for a long time, due to the natural stiffening of old lubricants or a slight misalignment.
It only needs a standard, economical routine service (cam mechanism cleaning and new lubrication) by a watchmaker or enthusiast to return to ticking for the next hundred years!
This piece is the joy of any hobbyist or horologist: it does not require expensive repairs or hard‑to‑find spare parts, but only a cleaning and a fine adjustment to unleash its full potential and see its market value double!
