Oh btw my comment kept getting deleted on your sessions Westminster chime clock video well anyways I said nice clock I am getting the sessions Westminster C clock to! Except it doesn’t have those pieces of wood sticking out of the clock on the sides.
An excellent addition to the clock family! Those chimes are smooth as silk, and I just love that distinctive Junghans pendulum ticking! I may actually be getting a loudspeaker clock myself soon... Waiting to see how the financial situation goes over the next few weeks before committing, though. Hopefully it'll still be there by then.
I hope it works out for you Albano, I'd love to hear a Loudspeaker among your collection! Also you're right, the escapement ticking is very distinctive on these, another attractive feature of the clock. I like how loud they tick. Mine wasn't ticking as loud in the video because I put fresh oil on the pallets, but now that the oil has spread out across the teeth of the escape gear it is much louder than in this video. 😊
Hurrah! what a beautiful clock and how pleasant is the two note hour strike sequence! All the clocks are beautiful! All two note striking clocks strike the number of hours at the top of every hour and also one time at the bottom of the hour. They strike as either two note sequences or as chord strokes. Such clocks have two or three chiming bars. Some clocks play 1/4 th, 2/4 th, 3/4 th and 4/4 of the musical sequences at every quarter hour and strike the number of hours at the top of every hour following the fourth quarter sequence. Westminster, Whittington's, St.Micheal's and Schubert's Ave Maria are the most common musical sequences. Such clocks have 4 to 12 chiming bars.
Yeah, Noel! These clocks have a chime called "bim-bam". That is the chime you hear on this clock. Some bim-bam clocks, however, can also have 5 rods. Those sound particularly melodious and beautiful. A lot of those clocks are Junghans too! Quartz can never beat the sound of real chime rods.
@@DannysClocks What you told is 100% correct. Even if some quartz clocks electronically imitate the sound of chiming bars for both quarter hour musical sequence and hour strike they can't beat the real chimes of clocks like these. Some striking clocks played melodies for each hour on built in music-box or barrel organ in addition with striking the hours on cup shaped bell or coiled wire gong. Such clocks only chime at the top of the hour and not at the bottom of the hour. Even if some quartz clocks electronically imitates the melody played by music-box and hour strike on coiled wire gong they can't beat the real music-boxes and chimes.
That's so cool!! Thanks for watching and commenting. I love clocks as well ^^ I've heard from my German friend that these kinds of clocks are extremely common over there in Europe, but over here in the U.S., they're rather uncommon.
@@DannysClocks no I have not heard that, but I go to thrift stores and also old clocks for really cheap around here, maybe that is a way for you to collect more clocks :}
DBP = Deutsche Bundespatent. That clock is a marvellous addition to your collection, and the striking sounds so similar to my own one which is hanging at the top of the stairs. I love how the weights on these clocks come down at almost the same rate through the week, so they are almost always parallel to each other. Also the chains are so short you could probably hang this on a wall above a mantelpiece. Incidentally I've just received a Junghans Exacta mantel clock today with a speaker bim bam strike, but unfortunately it isn't in working order, so that may have to wait for a month or so.
Ahh okay, that's good to remember! I really hope you can get your own Junghans running, these are truly beautiful clocks. Thank you for the info on DBP as well. ^^
These loudspeakers are rare as hell (and probably extremely expensive). I wish I could get one of them. You can also really tell the chime apart on this from a regular dual striker. It has these deep undertones that wouldn’t be heard on a regular chime rod assembly without the membrane amplifier
They're most certainly not rare in Europe! A lot of the fellow collectors I've met from Europe owned or have owned at least one, that or heard of them. My friend from Southern Germany says that they're so common in his area that most people just view them as nothing special whatsoever and sell them super cheaply, meanwhile as a Midwestern from the U.S., I see this as something extremely uncommon and desirable. These likely weren't exported to the U.S. much. This example was imported from the Netherlands.
Cool clock..I have heard there called "Free Swingers" have you heard that term before? Great to see young people.getting into old clocks... I just got another clock yesterday.. A New Haven Time Only short drop octagon.. very small only about.22 inches high. Gonna do a video on it for my YT channel.. Great job
I think I've heard "free swingers" once or twice, but I've mostly heard "wag on the wall". Both terms are very cool in their own way. I'd love to see your New Haven! I'll be sure to keep an eye out. Thank you!
love it, I found your channel because i bought one from germany and it just arrived , the weights and chains are tarnished :( how do I clean them? also how do I actually get it moving to tell time? the seller I bought it from says it works but I am clueless how to check
Hello! I'm happy to hear you have one of these, they're great clocks! :D As for the chains, I'm not entirely sure what the best solution is for renewing their look. I'm not very experienced in restoration. The clock should have two weights that make it chime and make it tick. When the clock is on the wall, it should tick evenly like a metronome. These clocks are particularly finicky to get into beat, but it is doable. The back cover of the clock comes off when it's off the wall, and you can access the back of the mechanism. To adjust the beat, you gently grab hold of the piece the long rod that you connect the pendulum to is slotted in, you can see it at 4:53 right in the center of the screen. You then gently push to the right or to the left depending on the adjustment required. You'll feel resistance, but just very gently apply more pressure until it moves slightly. This adjustment is kind of time consuming, as you have to take the clock and the weight off the wall many times. Only the weight on the right is needed to power the clock, the weight on the left is the for the chime, so while you're making the adjustment you can leave the left weight off. If this task seems a bit too risky, you can take it to a clock shop.
Hi, Danny! Do you happen to know the length of the pendulum of your Loudspeaker clock? I would need that for a project and my Junghans doesn't have the original pendulum... Thanks in advance! :)
Hi, Luka! This pendulum should be about 32.5cm from the very top all the way to the end of the thread for the pendulum bob. I'd round it up to 33cm just to be safe. Hope this helps!!
@@DannysClocks Thanks a lot for your help! :D It is wayy better than the aproximation I did based on some pictures and the measurements of the weights...
Nope! Not yet at least. But they're not particularly interesting to me. It seems they were made when Seth Thomas joined together with General Time along with Westclox, so it looks like they just use Hermle movements. If you know otherwise let me know :o The 124 movement from Seth Thomas would be neat to own, but even still not exactly looking out for them.

maybe some day you can get an grandfather clock and thats a nice new clock i wish i had this clock i like clocks i hope i can see all your nice clocks
It's amazing you got it!! Sounds very nice, pretty similar to mine. I'm glad your little dream came true!!!!
Lovely addition to your collection, I really like the bim-bam chime

Can't get over the size of Those weights
They are rather comically massive in comparison to the rest of the clock, I'll admit. ^^

I left it in because I thought it was funny ^^'
i guess people think it is, which is good!

Make a video of this clock chiming 12am or 12pm!
Do you have a Seth Thomas legacy clock?
No he doesn’t
@@blue_hedgehog_gaming_clock9580 ok
Nope! Not yet at least. But they're not particularly interesting to me. It seems they were made when Seth Thomas joined together with General Time along with Westclox, so it looks like they just use Hermle movements. If you know otherwise let me know :o

@@DannysClocks I've seen one from 1949 and 48 that use an electric version of the 124 movement
Yeah to me the electric Seth Thomas legacy’s are way more interesting and cooler to me but that’s just my opinion.
You profile picture look like revari
Oo yeah maybe a little bit. It's actually a cartoon character of mine that is an owl. ^^
and also i hov 209 clocks
I posted a video of my clock collection check it out!
