Antique french clock, the finish on the porcelain is bad but it all works.

Edit; Turns out its a French Black Slate clock,from around 1880. Inside is plaster. I adore this clock.

Glass domes dont come cheap unless you hit up thrift shops. Lots of parts for like, $7.

2 foot chime rods, a clock movement that you cant buy parts for... I love my Kienzle clock. Spring in last picture was audibly clicking so I adjusted it.

Found this American made westclox for $2 lol.

Stole the mainspring from another anniversary clock I had. I feel bad for that other clock but oh well. This beauty is now working and has been in beat for about an hour and a half.

Got this really gorgeous 400 day clock and didnt realize the mainspring was busted. Will be opening and repairing today. Will take photos as things progress.

Found this Hermle black forest Westminster clock at a flea market. I got it for around $30 at the time. Nothing was wrong with it, found this receipt inside the clock. Who knew?

This clock is a fully mechanical beast, however, it uses a battery and motor to wind itself up. It makes contact with the terminals when the clock chimes, engaging the motor and winding the clock. The brand name is “Caravelle”, and I am certain the movement was made in Japan.

I ended up having to make a replacement pendulum for this out of wood. The wood seems to amplify the clicks coming from the escapement. Learned to not make the pendulum rod round with this one.

This is a Westminster Chime clock created by Kienzle from around 1940s. It has 8 chime rods about 2 feet in length, 4 of them being for the hour chime alone, and 4 making up the Westminster chime. It chimes on the quarter and has a very deep sound. It has been called the “anime clock” before. Sword Art Online has a clock chime very similar to it and has confused me in the past.
