This vintage ams pendulum wall clock from germany pairs a softly contoured wooden case with a cream dial ring, raised brass numerals and a distinctive open-circle hour hand.
the swing of the exposed pendulum and the regular strike bring a quiet rhythm to the room.
the teak-toned wood grain is visible across the centre of the dial, framed by a slim brass rim and tapered hour markers. Below the case hang a round brass pendulum and two cylindrical brass weights on chains. The mechanical movement is stamped “ams w150m” and “made in germany.” the clock ran for 14 days on a single winding during testing and strikes on the hour and half-hour.
the design is characteristic of pendulum clocks from the mid-century, such as those made by junghans, kienzle, hermle, kieninger and wuba.

condition
excellent vintage condition with light signs of use/age. Tested and in very good working order. The brass numerals, trim, pendulum and weights have developed a natural patina and can be polished to a brighter gold tone if preferred.
the small screw that secures the hands is included and shown in the close-up, although it is absent in some photos.
the compact case and long hanging weights give the clock a distinctive vertical silhouette, ideal for a hallway or living / dining room wall with room for the weights to descend.
