Description
This is a Lenzkirch model 629 balcony freeswinger. This model is not found very often. It has a 26-series 14-day running movement with rack and snail striking. 99% of Lenzkirch 26-series movements featured count wheel striking. This is only the 3rd Lenzkirch 26-series movement with rack striking I have seen in 40 years of collecting Lenzkirch clocks. To say it is very rare is an understatement. The case has some minor repairs on the right lower side that are only noticeable upon close inspection. This is a rare and very desirable Lenzkirch clock. It measures 40 inch high and 13 wide.
