This Jahresuhrenfabrik (Schatz) standard 400 day clock, was made around 1949 – 50, and has no name on dial. The minute track of the dial is 3 9/16 inches in diameter. The movement is labeled Jahresuhrenfabrik, and this company was renamed Aug. Schatz and Sohne around 1950 (the Jahresuhrenfabrik name continued to be used on the back of some clocks for several years). Jahresuhrenfabrik is German for “Year Clock Company”.

i have the 1949-50 schatz clock with no name on the dial.i purchased it at auction in n.j.30 years ago it has never run more than 3 days at a time.
Most likely, the suspension spring needed to be adjusted to put the clock “in beat” (that is – to make it tick evenly). Or, the suspension spring will need replacing if it is twisted or bent. The movement probably needs to be taken apart and cleaned as well. I offer this service, please see the following web page for information:

I have a Schatz 400 day clock (53) currently in perfect running order and condition (no key).
I need a key and approximate value. Seems bright and brilliant to me but “net pictures” seem to have more shine.
