Wall Clock, c.1890
Schlenker & Kienzle
Schwenningen, Germany
Jacob Kienzle (1859-1935) partnered with his father-in-law, Christian Schlenker and his brother-in-law, Carl Johannes Schlenker to form the firm Schlenker and Kienzle in 1883.
This Freeswinger is one of their most elaborately designed wall clocks. The eight-day brass movement has a dead beat escapement and strikes the half-hour on a gong.
