Description from the seller

Vintage Kern 400-Day Anniversary Clock - German Torsion Clock for Restoration

An authentic and rare Kern mechanical 400-day anniversary clock (torsion pendulum clock) made in West Germany by the renowned manufacturer **Kern & Söhne** during the 1950s–1960s.
This is the highly collectible miniature "Midget" version of the classic Caravelle/Lantern style clock.

The clock is being sold **for restoration / repair** (untested, no key included).

### Condition Report & Key Technical Features:
* **Suspension Spring:** Excellent visual condition. The original flat suspension wire is **completely intact, straight, and free of bends or kinks**—a rare find since these wires are usually broken on vintage models.
* **Movement:** The brass gear train and mainspring barrel appear complete and clean with a natural vintage patina and light oxidation, bearing the official **Kern & Söhne anchor logo (K&S)** stamped on the back plate.
* **Pendulum:** Includes the original 4-ball torsion pendulum, which hangs correctly on the intact wire.
* **Casing:** Original brass lantern case with bevelled glass panels. The glass panes are intact (one panel features a faint historic "XX" watchmaker/factory scratch mark). The brass frame shows age-related tarnishing and surface oxidation, perfect for a polishing project.
* **Components:** Includes the bottom transport locking lever and all 4 original knurled leveling feet at the base.

A wonderful and complete project piece for clock enthusiasts, collectors, or professional horologists looking to restore a premium miniature German anniversary clock.
