Very Nice Old German Henri Cohler Mauthe Westminster Chime 8 Day Wood Wall Clock

We have a large number of vintage and antique clocks currently listed along with an equally impressive collection of old music boxes and other very nice antique and vintage collectibles. Be sure to have a look at our. This is a wonderful find of a rare, wood, 8 day Westminster Chime wall clock that was created about 65 years or so ago in "Germany" by "Friedrich Mauthe" and marketed by Henri Cohler through their "Heco" line of clocks; best of two worlds making this clock one of the highest quality clocks ever produced!

The movement was serviced recently and I noticed that it bears the "F Mauthe" name... Beautifully crafted clock and highly coveted! The case is made entirely of wood and finished in blends of medium to dark shade of walnut; very nice! There is a formed and curvy glass crystal inset near the bottom allowing for easy viewing of the brass pendulum as it swings back and forth; no cracks or chips that I can see.

The top is a beautiful scroll shape and there is finely carved wooden trim on either side of the case and fancier still near the bottom under the dial. The top of the case is actually a hinged wood frame door that is secured with a metal latch on the side.

There is a convex glass crystal inset into the door; no cracks or chips either that I can see. The door opens easily to allow access to the winding arbors on the dial, setting the correct time, and for hanging the brass pendulum. The metal dial has a brass outer bezel and a soft almond backdrop featuring large, easy to read, fancy embossed brass numerals at the hour marks and matching fancy shiny brass metal hands to point out the time.

The name, "Heco" appears here on the upper dial in their familiar logo signature. The phrase, "Made in Germany" appears in small block letters near the bottom of the dial. The back of the clock is wood too and all hardware appears to be intact. The clock is equipped with a pendulum style, key wind movement that lasts for about 8 days on a single wind.

This clock plays music too! At the quarter hour mark, the clock plays a beautiful, four-note melody on five golden metal chime bars inside the case; eight notes at the half hour mark, twelve at the 3/4 hour mark, and the full sixteen note melody at the top of each hour. The clock will then chime the current number of hours at the top of each hour, just like Big Ben in London! This is a magnificent clock to be sure and the ideal size too measuring about 16" high, about 4 1/2" deep, and about 13 or so at its widest point. The clock works quite well here, keeps good time, and the chimes are heavenly though keep in mind, this is an old clock and we don't know the complete service history so some adjustments or service may be necessary once the clock arrives at its new home. We always advise our clock customers to service their antique or vintage clocks at least once every three years. Doing so will keep a classic timepiece like this one, healthy for years to come.

The clock comes complete as shown with a brasstone metal pendulum and the winding key. I've looked the clock over fairly well and note less than average wear as shown and absolutely gorgeous on display! This clock is simply beautiful and is a very popular design among collectors and discerning clock owners. It will certainly impress anyone seeing or hearing it in your home, office, or wherever it is that you care to showcase a magnificent German timepiece with a fabulous legacy.
