This is a really beautiful clock! The movement looks almost identical to a Kienzle, so it's very likely for it to be made around the time when Kienzle bought the company. I also have a Carl Werner, but it only strikes on the hour and half hour and it has a Vienna Style case.
Excellent find, and great to see another video from you!! This one is in great condition and I especially love the dial and the pillars on the door. I also love the way this one is assembled inside the case and it sounds fantastic. I noticed a string sticking out on the right side of the case, is that some sort of repeating mechanism? I have a couple chime clocks that I just finished restoring so hoping to get a video out sometime this week.
Thanks much! Yeah, really happy I managed to snag this one... I'd actually been walking past it for the last three or four times we visited the flea, but they were asking something like $475 for it initially, so I didn't bother. Then, the last time we went, it had been moved to the back of the shop, so I asked them about it and ended up getting it for $150, which I think is a pretty good deal! The string on the side is to trigger the chime train. This clock uses a rack and snail system to determine how many notes play at each quarter, so it's actually quite easy for the order of the notes to go out of whack if the chimes are triggered at the wrong time. Since it doesn't have an automatic chime syncing feature, you just keep cycling the chimes until the notes line up again.

Very nice sounding chime and hour strike!
That's a beautiful clock, especially the case.
