Description from the seller
Vintage Junghans Art Deco Mantel Clock (September 1934) – To Be Restored
An authentic German mantel clock manufactured by the renowned maker **Junghans** in **September 1934**, featuring a classic interwar Art Deco design. The wooden case showcases elegant rounded corners and a beautiful natural grain finish.
The clock is equipped with a robust and highly collectable **Junghans W 278 mechanical movement** (8-day wind-up).
It features a two-train mechanism with a Bim-Bam strike system on a traditional large coiled gong wire.
**Condition Report & Restoration Needed:**
This item is being sold specifically for restoration, parts, or as a horological project.
* **Cabinet/Case:** The wooden veneer case is structurally sound and retains its original "Original Junghans" paper seal on the back door. The top surface shows uniform wear to the original lacquer and surface patina consistent with its 90+ years of age.
* **Dial & Glass:** The original dial with Arabic numerals and stylized hands is in good visual condition. The chrome bezel and curved glass cover open and close smoothly.
* **Movement:** The brass movement plate is clean, corrosion-free, and clearly stamped with the authentic Junghans 8-pointed star logo, caliber markings, and the production date code **34 9** (September 1934).
* **Missing Parts:** The pendulum rod and bob (lens) are missing from the suspension fork. The clock will need a compatible replacement pendulum to maintain proper oscillation. No winding key is included.
**Technical Specifications:**
