Clocks, Watches/Hermle mantle clock 22830-070340 chime problem

Question
I wind(right winding hole) my clock last night more than the required turns. I heard a click sound when I stop winding clockwise. Until now it won't chime. The chime lever position is not shut off. The right wind is still tight (not loose)

Answer
the Hermle numbers you site are not anything I recognize- where are they coming from? The back rear plate of the movement itself has the info I need. the right winder is for the chime train of gears and does power the chimes. Given the info you tell me I cannot guess what has happened assuming the right spring is actually fully wound(check to make sure)
