Kieninger Wall Clock with Bim Bam Strike Runs & Strikes Oak Case 2 Weights AT&T Presentation PieceClear Acrylic Clock FacePossible Howard Miller Offering Item DescriptionNice Kieninger Wall Clock for your collection or decor needs. Would make a great gift of keep for yourself!Check out this beautiful Kieninger Wall Clock. Could be a direct Kieninger offer or could be a Howard Miller Wall Clock with a Kieninger movement installed in it. We recently acquired it at the closing of a clock/antique store in our area. Might also be a George Nelson designed clock for Howard Miller, but no notation of Miller or Nelson on the case or movement that we can ascertain. Cannot find a similar case in our searches to identify a model which should get us to the actual maker.This fine Wall Clock is being offered to you at a price below what you would see in a high end auction house or clock shop. We have been selling items out of our home for over 35 years. We can therefore better control our acquisition costs, keep commission costs low (if applicable), and finally, we don't have the overhead that the high end auction houses and Clock Shops experience.Some information about the possible designer of the clock, George Nelson;GEORGE NELSON (USA, 1908 1986)Architect designer, and writer, George Nelson was a central figure in the mid-century American modernist design movement; and his thoughts influenced not only the furniture we live with, but also how we live. Nelson came to design via journalism and literature. Upon receiving his bachelor’s degree in architecture from Yale in 1931, he won the Prix de Rome fellowship, and spent his time in Europe writing magazine articles that helped bring stateside recognition to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Gio Ponti, Le Corbusier and other canonical modernist architects. In the 1940s, Nelson wrote texts that suggested such now-commonplace ideas as open-plan houses, storage walls and family rooms. D.J. Depree, the owner of the furniture maker Herman Miller Inc., was so impressed by Nelson that in 1944 — following the sudden death of Gilbert Rohde, who had introduced the firm to modern design in the 1930s — he invited Nelson to join the company as its design director. There Nelson’s curatorial design talents came to the fore. To Herman Miller he brought such eminent creators as Charles and Ray Eames, Isamu Noguchi, and the textile and furniture designer Alexander Girard. Thanks to a clever contract, at the same time as he directed Herman Miller he formed a New York design company, George Nelson & Associates, that sold furniture designs to the Michigan firm, as well as its competitor, the Howard Miller Clock Company. Nelson’s New York team of designers (who were rarely individually credited) would create such iconic pieces as the sofa, the “Coconut” chair, the “Ball” clock, the “Bubble” lamp series and the many cabinets and beds that comprise the sleek “Thin-Edge” line. For dedicated collectors, as well as for interior designers who look beyond “the look,” there is a “cool factor” inherent to vintage pieces from George Nelson and others. Nelson was in on it from the start, and it’s valuable to have a piece that was there with him. But still, as is evident from the offerings from dealers on these pages, in any of the designs, in any iteration whose manufacture Nelson oversaw and encouraged, there are shining elements of lightness, elegance, sophistication —and a little bit of swagger. George Nelson felt confident in his ideas about design and didn’t mind letting the world know.The clock was most likely made in the early 1970s to mid-1980s. Was an AT&T presentation retirement piece based upon the logo on the face. Beautiful oak wood case on this one. The case is made of oak. The front door is securely attached to the rest of the case by the hinges. There a a gold colored trim around the glass in the front door. The glass is intact, no cracking or blistering.Has two weights with brass lacquer shells. One of the weights has a small ding in the length of shell, cannot see if hang so to back.Beautiful clear acrylic face that is rectangular in shape. This clock face has roman numerals at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions. Nice looking matching hands on the clock. We see no cracks or splits in the wood case, nor any missing pieces. The clock comes with a winding key. The magnetic locking latch for the front door is in place and operating. This clock is being sold in running and striking condition. The clock has a nice bim bam strike. Strikes the bim bam sequence once at the half hour and repeats the bim bam strike the number of times for the hours. The movement is a Kieninger which is made in Germany. Has a serial number impressed on the back plate of the movement of 0710134075 The clock is 44.5" tall, 14.5" across, by 7-5/8" wide.
