Carriage clock - Junghans - Brass, Glass - 1900-1910

Antique Junghans "Joker" Carriage Clock with Musical Alarm – Germany, c. 1890-1910

Up for auction is a beautiful and highly collectible antique German carriage clock manufactured by the renowned maker Junghans (Württemberg) between 1890 and 1910.
This is the sought-after "Joker" model, featuring a distinctive dual-alarm system that combines a traditional bottom bell with an internal musical movement (cylinder mechanism).

The clock features a brass and silver-plated/chromed case with beautifully engraved floral and baroque details on the front panel, movable top handle, and beveled glass side panels that showcase the intricate mechanics.
The dial displays Arabic numerals, a top seconds sub-dial, and a lower sub-dial for setting the alarm.
The movement is officially stamped with the iconic 8-pointed Junghans star, "WURTTEMBERG," and caliber "278."
