Beautiful ornate Emilian Wehrle Black Forest Trumpeter Clock. Circa 1885 Pt 2

This clock is listed in Rick Ortenburger’s ‘Black Forest Clocks’ book published in 1991. His description of this clock was, “Large, heavily carved trumpeter clock by Emilian Wehrle. Eight horn musical movement, eight-day with tow tunes. Bone hands. The author has seen one other clock like this, but the example shown is in mint condition. Circa 1885.”

At some point I will upload a video of the trumpeter mechanism working. Still getting to know the clock and how it works.

Beautiful ornate Emilian Wehrle Black Forest Trumpeter Clock. Circa 1885

I have recently come into possession of this beautiful Emilian Wehrle black forest trumpeter clock. But this is a bit like, 'You never actually own an antique Black Forest clock, you merely look after it for the next generation.' Any advice on looking after trumpeter clocks would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob.

Wonderful clock, You are correct , we are merely the guardians of the past , caretakers of time and space. It is we, each one of us, that must wake the next generation of guardians or simply we fail in everything that we have preserved.


To protect and care for your clock is my advice for today - learn how to protect the wood from environmental issues extremely heat and cold which will effect the case. It is also important that you " will " { Your passing } your clocks to the right people - I always tell people - my clients - to leave a note in their clocks who to contact, most of mine have put my contact info in side clock - others have instructions in their wills, due to having no children. Enjoy your journey.


Take care of your child😎

Sorg cĺock


Good afternoon, I just bought this Sorg clock. I'd like some information about the manufacturer, year of manufacture, and how it works. I see it has only one chain and one pulley, but it also has movement trains and a chime mechanism. What can you tell me? Thank you.

It's a beautiful dial and surround, one of the typical styles for Sorg clocks. I haven't seen fancy hands like that. Usually hands on Sorg clocks are simple arrow pointers or moon hands. The hands on your clock fit properly, so I suppose they could be original.

Hello,


This clock has been in our family for almost 300 years. I have no information on it other than it was made in Wales. It is approximately 1 meter in height, 1/2 meter in width and 1/4 meter in depth.


Might anyone know if others like this exist?


Thank you.


Steve Stroschein
