As one of the world’s oldest manufacturers of clock movements, Kieninger represents an enduring legacy of precision, quality, and traditional craftsmanship. Designed to stand the test of time, Kieninger products are more than precision-engineered mechanisms — they are lasting treasures, created to be admired, valued, and passed down through generations.
The high-quality Kieninger movements are worthy of restoration or replaced as needed by a skilled professional.
In order to assist in the movement selection process, we recommend a three-level decision framework:
-
Determine the movement series — defined by the brass movement plate dimensions. Each movement series will have a host of movement feature options, and all the plate sizes are the same size within the series.
-
Five key top-level requirements — Chimes, sound mechanics, drive type, pendulum length, and automatic night shutoff.
-
Specific product details — Hammer location, hand shaft length, target cost, and current model availability.
After the movement series is determined, the second step is to define the five key top-level requirements so they can guide the selection process consistently.
1. Chime tune option- Bim-Bam (two tone sequence)
- Westminster (four-quarter melody)
- Two chimes (Westminster and Whittington)
- Triple chime (typically Westminster, Whittington, and St. Michaels melodies)
2. Sound mechanics
- Rod gongs (metal rods struck by hammers)
- Coil gong (a coiled metal gong that resonates when struck)
- Tubes (long open round tubes suspended in case back)
- Bells (individually struck)
3. Cable or chain driven.
- Cable-driven uses cables and pulleys and a crank to wind the clock.
- Chain-driven uses chains and sprockets and to wind the clock you pull the chains.
4. Pendulum length must match the requirements of the clock movement.
- The required pendulum length is typically marked on the back of the brass movement plates, with measurements such as 130, 116, 100, 93, or 80 cm, etc.
5. Auto Night Shutoff (ANSO) feature, which means that the movement will automatically silence its chimes during a designated period of nighttime.
Once Step 1 and 2 have been determined, the third step is to delve into the product details, which can be found in the Movement Series Product Portfolios below.
In addition to selecting the appropriate movement, several key accessories are essential to the clock’s design and operation.
Pendulum, dials, and weight product accessory links are located in each product description.
Movements are lubricated prior to shipment and ready to install.
