Anniversary clock - Kieninger & Obergfell (Kundo) - Mid-century modern Brass - 1950-1960

The image shows a vintage Kundo (Kieninger & Obergfell) 400-day anniversary clock (torsion clock) from West Germany, identified by the red “Kundo” logo on the white dial with floral motifs and the rotating pendulum balls at the bottom.

Features of this clock:

• Brand: Kieninger & Obergfell (Kundo)
• Origin: Made in Germany (“Made in Germany” at the bottom of the dial)
• Type: 400-day clock (also known as an anniversary clock or torsion clock, as the movement can run for about a year on a single winding)
• Design: Brass/gold-colored construction with an enameled white dial featuring red roses and black numerals.

These mechanical Kundo 400-day clocks with their distinctive floral dials were produced mainly in the 1950s and 1960s.
Since the dial says “Made in Germany” at the bottom (rather than “West Germany”), this points specifically to an earlier postwar production series, probably made between 1950 and 1955. After this period, the manufacturer Kieninger & Obergfell switched almost entirely to stamping export models “Made in West Germany.”

This is a luxury lantern-style version of the Kundo anniversary clock, with the movement housed not under a round glass dome but in a fixed brass case with beveled glass and an elegant ornament on top.

PLEASE NOTE. The winding key will not turn any further; it needs to be checked.
