Description
Original German 'borduhr' ('aircraft clock'), a model Fl. 22600 manufactured by Junghans circa 1938. The clock features an eight-day movement, with set and winding knobs located on the reverse. The rear of the clock also features bayonet-style mountings, allowing it to be affixed in the dashboard of an aircraft after setting and winding. The dial is black with painted numerals, with a separate second hand. The faceplate bears a painted red arrow and a knob allowing the glass to be rotated, aiding fuel consumption calculations. The maker's name and model number are printed on the dial, and the rear of the steel case bears a Junghans hallmark and the serial number '4854', This type of clock was used in several early Luftwaffe aircraft, most notably the Heinkel He 45 light bomber, but was phased out in favor of the more advanced Fl. 23885 model, which saw use in most of the front-line aircraft flown by the Luftwaffe during World War II.
The hands are setting fine using the knob on the back.
I couldn’t get the clock wound up, honestly I’m not sure how and didn’t want to mess around with it, I tried winding it via the large knob on the back but it won’t wind so maybe it’s not working or maybe I just wasn’t winding it correctly.
The balance wheel is moving freely, sub second hand is ticking.
The front plate is not secured, not sure how it would be, again I didn’t mess around with it maybe you just need to screw it back on.
I found one the same which sold at auction for $800.
