A visit to the Junghans Museum in Schramberg, Black Forest. (Part 2)
We continue our tour through the Junghans Terrassenbau Museum, and take the stairs down to the next floor:
table clock with moon phase and 9 tube gongs, around 1890
High class Black Forest clocks, which differ from other model in terms of quality with think main plates, polished levers and solid pinions. Made by Winterhalder & Hofmeier , 19th century. They were mostly exported to customers in the US.
A speciality of the black forest clock makers were dulcimer clocks - an explanation of the construction and workings is given below
Elaborate automata
Triple music clock with Flutes, dulcimer and bells, around 1820.
Barrels for the triple music clock
I really like the architecture
Polygram changer, around 1890's. It seems like the predecessor to the juke box.
Flute clock with automata
Flute clock , showing Napoleon's Russian campaign
Now we are moving from the clocks to another part of the museum, showing watch making technology -> please check part 3.
