Today I had the pleasure of surfing this message board which I found very interesting. I come from Argentina and some days ago I acquired a Kern 400 day clock. The movement seems in very good condition however , the suspension spring is missing. The top block is still there and I managed to find a fork and bottom block at a shop but not the spring.

Is there anyone who can help me identify the clock which does not have any identification numbers - only a symbol of a dail with K and S inside it at the bottom left hand corner of the back plate under the winding pinion. The size of the clock without glass is about 7.5 inches (approx 195mm) and the base diammeter is 5.5 inches/140mm, the length between the top block and the pendulum (4 balls) about 3.5 inches (approx 90mm). Back plate 1.75in (45mm) by 2.5in (62mm).

I wish to know the type of suspension spring required and size(suspect .002/.0023). Also if anyone knows approximate age.

Thanks for your attention.

I think this document relates to the movement in your clock

The suspension guard is hiding the adjuster in your photo, so both types are listed and you need to check which is yours.

If I'm wrong, please let me know.
