72 A large German walnut and parcel ebonised eight-day regulator wall timepiece Lenzkirch, circa 1869 The four pillar single train weight-driven movement with jewelled and capped arbors to the top three wheels of the train and pallet arbor, five-spoke wheel crossings, high pinion count, Harrison’s maintaining power, jewelled pallets, adjustable beat screw and substantial bi-metallic compensating pendulum with a fine regulating nut to the large brass bob, The backplate is stamped with LENZKIRCH above ‘one million’ trademark and numbered 431913, giving a production date of 1869, the 9 inch circular twopiece white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel moon hands and a sweep seconds hand, in a shaped arch-glazed front case with keystone centred break-arch pediment above scroll applied canted angles and inverted stepped ogee moulded base, 181cm high. The Lenzkirch clock factory was founded in 1849 by clockmaker Eduard Hauser and organ maker Ignaz Schpperle who decided to make clock movements and parts of the highest quality using line production in order supply individual clockmakers for finishing and casing. Within a few years the factory was producing complete clocks, however towards the end of the century the factory went into decline due to failure in keeping up with new production techniques. This resulted in the firm being sold to the Junghans brothers who continued it as an offshoot until its final closure in 1932. The current lot demonstrates the fact that the firm were able to produce clocks of the finest quality. £600-800 01635 553553 33
