AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original Junghans mechanical mantel clock, produced in Germany, equipped with Junghans W278 movement.
The clock features an elegant, classic wooden case with a distinctive arched form. The front is adorned with a large round dial with Arabic numerals and gilded hands. The dial is protected by opening convex glass doors with a metal frame.
Inside lies the original mechanical movement signed with the Junghans mark and the designation W278. The mechanism is wound with a key that is included in the set.
The clock has been checked and is functional. After winding, the mechanism runs, the clock ticks, and the hands move correctly. The striking mechanism works as well – on the hour the clock strikes the appropriate number of times, e.g., at 12:00 it strikes 12 times.
The clock retains its authentic vintage character. The wooden case shows natural signs of age and use, in particular scratches, wear, and the characteristic cracks of the old lacquered surface. They were not masked or renewed. The condition of the clock, case, and mechanism is shown in detail in the photos.
