Jamenfeld in Wien
I have never been able to identify who made my regulator clock. The name on the dial is ‘N Jamenfeld, Wien’. The initial engraving on the front bottom right-hand corner of the movement looks like and M and a W running together. An identical front plate is shown in Prazision Spendeluhren by Klaus Erbrich (published by Callwey, 1978) on pp134-135.
The only difference between my clock and the one in the book is that I have four dial screws to hold the dial on to the pillars. There are no dial pins or pins in the movement.
Was my regulator clock made by K Morawetz Wien, 1876, for N Jamenfeld? Can anyone enlighten me? The clock is entirely original except for the pendulum rod which was made of quartz. I procured a Herasil rod from Germany and plan to restore the pendulum. I would appreciate any information.
