This is such a pretty clock, and I really like this style, so I had to show it here. This was made by Kundo (Kienineger & Obergfell) in Germany in the 1950s, and has the diamond-shaped dial. It is a standard-size 400 day clock.
Job 5857. Cleaned, one pivot polished, new suspension spring (Horolovar 0.0032 inch thick) installed.
Here is another Kundo standard 400 day clock with large dial, as I described in Kundo and Welby Standard 400 day Clocks with Large Dial.
This example has “wings” on the movement to make it look like the wide movement that was first used on Kundo standard 400 day clocks. It has the older type of pendulum like the Welby clock had, but has the short (later) type of movement mounting nuts
Repair job 4846. Horolovar back plate no. 1376. 0.0032 inch thick suspension spring.
I’ve never seen this style of 400 day clock before. The case has a painted black finish made to simulate hammered cast iron.
The movement is a regular Kundo miniature 400 day clock movement. One of my joys as a clock repairer is seeing all these wonderful types of clocks.
Job 5784. Besides the usual disassembly, cleaning and pivot polishing, I smoothed the ratchet gear, replaced the barrel arbor and installed a new suspension spring.
This Kundo standard 400 day clock (probably from the 1960s or early 1970s) still has its original instructions and styrofoam packing.
Repair job 5730. Horolovar back plate no. 1380. .0032 inch suspension spring.
I think that this is such a pretty clock that I decided to show it here. The case has glass panels, and the movement is the Kundo miniature (Horolovar back plate no. 1406H). It was made in the 1950s. The case still has it original finish – not bad after about 60 years. When a case is this good, it is best to leave it alone, and not do any polishing.
Repair job 5648. Overhaul movement, tighten barrel hook, replace ratchet gear, replace suspension spring.
This Kundo standard size 400 day clock was probably made in the 1960s. It is unusual in having a heavy, cast brass base (most 400 day clock bases are thin brass over a wood, metal or Bakelite core). The fancy dial is in the French style, with imitation enamel numerals applied to the dial). The arch (the piece with the decorative finials above the dial) is made of plastic!
Repair job 5631. Horolovar back plate no. 1407B. Suspension unit 3C, 0.0032 inch thick suspension spring.
This is a Kundo standard 400 day clock from about 1950 with wide back plate. The name “Kundo” on the dial is written in black instead of red. This may be an early version of the logo (all the ones I remember seeing before have “Kundo” in red).
Repair job 5613. Horolovar back plate 1371. Suspension unit 1. 0.0032 inch Horolovar suspension spring.
This Kundo standard-sized 400 day clock has a nickel plated finish instead of the common plain brass. It has a wide-plate movement so I believe it was made on the early 1950s. The back plate has no name, just the Kundo logo in a circle. It uses a 0.0032 inch thick suspension spring. I didn’t do a full repair on this clock – just replaced the suspension spring. The gears are not nickel plated.
