I have a Vienna regulator with grand sonnerie movement marked 'Jauch' on the back of the movement. I can't seem to connect Jauch with this 'Becker' quality of Vienna Regulator. Can someone please help?

Earl, That sounds like a beautiful clock. German clocks are not my strong suite, but threre are others on site who have more of the information you are looking for.
Junghans made many high quality clocks, are you interested in the date of this clock? If you could take some pictures that would be helpful.

I think most of the factory produced grand sonniere wall clock movements have very similiar movements, no matter who made them, sort of like most of the French round movements look a lot alike. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that Junghans bought or combined with Becker sometime after 1900, maybe in the 1920's.
