German Winterhalder & Hoffmeier Bracket Clock

Winterhalder and Hoffmeier are one of the most famous German Victorian Clockmakers. The firm was started by Anton Winterhalder in Schwartzenbach, Germany in 1810, taking Anton Hoffmeier into partnership in 1850, with the business finally closing on the death of Winterhalder's last son Linus in 1910.

Hi Tom,Beautiful clock.I've restored hundreds of antique clocks.It seem like the glue they used back when these were built deteriorates over time and they just fall apart.I've done some Vienna style regulators that don't look like they were ever glued.Regards.Norm
