Late 19th Century German Alarm Mantel Clock in Gothic Style, by Hamburg Amerikanische Uhrenfabrik - The Hamburg American Clock Company (HAC) This elegant 1890's mantel clock was manufactured by the Hamburg American Clock Company (HAC) of Germany. Their eagle crest is embossed behind the alarm bell, and their crossed arrows logo is visible on the movement. It features  an intriguing early form of alarm setting. The alarm is most unusual, and involves the brass central dial on the clock face. To set the alarm, ensure the hands display what part of the hour you wish the alarm to sound (ie. at half past), then rotate the dial to dictate in how many hours time you wish the alarm to sound! A very early way of incorporating an alarm into a mantel clock. It is a rather impractical method, but it does work, give or take 5 minutes! I have gently restored the clock - the movement has been cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner, checked over and re-lubricated with clock oil. His case has been cleaned, oiled and re-lacquered to preserved his looks. The clock retains all his history and character of the past 100 years, and now is set to continue for many years to come. NOTE: ALWAYS wind the clock forward, to prevent damage to the movement, and bear in mind the hands are delicate, move gently! New key supplied as no original was with him The approximate size is: 34cm high x 22cm width x 10cm depth (13" x 8.5" x 4") He is running well, his accuracy can be adjusted via lengthening or shortening his pendulum bob. He runs for several days on one full wind. (Remember he is an antique item, and comes with all the usual caveats of age & use, which I have attempted to mitigate through restoration) ** Please ensure to study the photographs well, as they form an important part of the description **
