German Triple Chime Wall Clock by Jauch. Westminster, St. Michaels, Wittington chimes

[@rogercolon2633]

Thanks for demonstrating the chimes. I love them all and use the Westerminster as my daily chime, the St. Michaels for the Christmas holidays, and the Whittington for Christmas Eve. By the way, you have a great radio voice. 😃

St Michaels takes me back many years to fond childhood memories.

That's a beautiful clock with very good melodies (chime). Hats off to the Composer, the Clock Maker and to all who have contributed their part to make such a Beautiful MASTER PIECE...

Nothing more beautiful than a chiming clock...considering it had a pleasant tone.

This was very helpful thanks

I have a Clock with the same movement Saint Michael’s is my favorite

[@steamgent4592]

Beautiful chimes!! You ever voice act or tv radio announce? You sure sound like a TV announcer I heard once upon a time. If you never did you should!

[@Clock1010]

I have that same exact clock

I have a clock here in UK that has a lever marked with those same alternatives. BUT.... Actually it starts with the 8 note scale descent on the first quarter. It sounds like the Tonic solfa to me. Thereonafter it is pretty but different. I cannot reconcile it with any of the three alternatives your clock plays! Whats likely to be going on? Does it matter? Your chimes are much better but where is your microphone? That larger wall case may also be helping that sustain. Mine is a mantle case. Quite soft and rather beautiful to my ear. No makers name though. Just "13cm" for the pendulum length. Bravo for posting an excellent demonstration video. BjG

Mon préféré c'est Westminster

[@Sugarshack22]

Thanks so much for this demonstration. I own one and for the life of me, I can't tell the difference between St. Michaels and the Whittington...love them all though.

Whittington has more ascending notes (as in ascending in pitch).

[@DannysClocks]

If you're still active, I recently purchased a box clock just like this. Same case and everything. Was the face held in by pins or some other method? I need to know just for future reference when I go to service mine.

[@sharkyfreeman]

Sorry, but it's been quite a while and I can't recall.

[@DannysClocks]

@@sharkyfreeman no worries!

[@hellothere9848]

@@DannysClocks My guess is screws... But who knows? 🤷

[@Cobesclocks]

I have a clock just like this, purchased in Germany in 1976. It no longer chimes. Do you know if/where replacement movements can be found?

[@sharkyfreeman]

Hi, I believe the movement is by Jauch. You can Google that. However, I have yet to find a movement that cannot be repaired. Can you not find an antique click repair person near you?

[@beedslolkuntus2070]

St. Michaels is actually better than Whittington for me

[@DannysClocks]

Makes sense. I personally agree. Whittington has a softer tone to it in the way that the notes are arranged. At half past the hour, the way that the notes descend makes for a more gentle and soothing sound, while St. Michael is a more bold and outstanding sound, starting at the highest note, then immediately dropping to a way lower note.

[@ekos4600]

What brand & model of this clock?

[@V.G.F.]

Jauch, one of the lesser famous

[@sharkyfreeman]

Hi Eko, As I recall, the clock had no identifying marks whatsoever. The movement was identical to some I'd seen marked Jauch. Clocks like this occassionally appear at estate sales or online. They are not thar rare. Clearly, they are not antique. Perhaps late 60's early 70's. The chime rods are the clue.
