Question
Hello I just want to know the history of this clock. I have inherited a grandaughter clock which was presented to my great grandfather on his retirement from the postoffice in the 1920's in the UK. I recently opened the back and it reads UNGHANS J WURTEMBERG. I have only wound it up by the middle keyhole on the face of the clock however wanted to know what the other 2 were for. The clock sometimes stops when the chime switch is on silent but moves by itself imbetween silent and chime..any ideas why this happens as only just started doing this on occasions. We did have it valued at aud$2000 but I hear granddaughter clocks are becoming more valueable due to size. Any ideas??? Thank you for info and I look forward to your response

Answer
Junghans is the German company who made it in Wurtemberg, Germany

sounds like a wall clock and not a Granddaughter clock at all.

left is the hour strike power and the right is the quarter chime power.

lever is loose internally- see a pro or wedge it or tape in place
