Title: Grandfather Clocks
Post by: brolex on September 06, 2011, 08:29:23 PM

Spotted this longcase over Raya Week. The  chime has a sweet timbre, and rings loudly every quarter-hour. I don't know how well it keeps time.

the face says, "Junghans, 12 Jewels, Westminster Super de Luxe."

I'll try blowing up the image tonight  :thumbsup:

The chimes bring me back to my early childhood... Would scare the bejesus out of us cousins.

It's almost impossible to find info on Junghans longcases - what do you know about 'em, Zitan?

eg. are the rods gold? cos I want to go to pajak gadai if they are hehe
