GERMAN KIENZLE ELECTROMAGNETIC DESK TABLE CLOCK PART 1 Video Clips. Duration : 2.47 Mins.


Beautiful brass clock KIENZLE German company with years 1940-1950. The clock has a mechanism with an electromagnet, which is powered by a battery. This is not just a simple quartz movement. The battery is used only to power the electromagnet. A whole is fully mechanical with the classic wheel balancing. The mechanism has a weight, which drive the whole mechanism, weight goes down to the bottom, the bottom is in contact with the electromagnet, which beat out the top weight and the weight to fall down again. One cycle of weight descent takes about 90 seconds. In this way the mechanism is driven by the clock. Please watch the video carefully, which is composed of two parts, you will understand what is the mechanism of action. Please pay attention to the clock works without any battery at a time when the weight to fall freely down Electromagnet has replaced the classic spring winding. Please note that the old timers in the spring is stretched and never operate accurately and precisely. It is very precise and very robust mechanism.
