This is a Stunning and Rare Kienzle ‘Tam-Tam’ alarm clock, made in Germany circa 1930’s.
A Beautiful design from this renowned maker of high quality clocks. Has all the hallmarks of the Art Deco era. With its round Chrome body gently leaning back on attractively detailed feet and stand. With a carry handle on the top, and sliding knobs for alarm/silent and steady/repeat functions. Even the dials on the rear are attractive and the winders have the Kienzle logo on.
The face is Beautiful, sitting behind glass, framed by a glossy white border in a graphic black with Great vintage lettering and numerals very Art Deco / Bauhaus / Modernist in style. With a second and alarm dial also, the hands are also embellished.
The numerals and hands glow in the dark, for easy reading at night!
Fully Working, keeping good time, can be adjusted on the back. The alarm is working and Very Loud!
In remarkable condition for its age, a little tarnishing in a few spots, on the handle and the inner rim on the rear, could be polished to perfection! Tiny marks on one of the hands and a few flakes of paint missing from the inner rim when seen from an angle, nothing to detract from the Excellent look on display.
A Real Rare Art Deco gem, would make a Stunning addition to any bedroom, table or desk.
Would make a Fantastic decorators / designers piece for any retro, vintage, antique, Art Deco, Modernist, Bauhaus, 1930’s styled interior.
Measures 17 x 12 x 6cm / 6.75 x 4.75 x 2.5in.


I just bought a vintage rusty Kaiser clock. It is not the same model, only a similar one. I was curious about its value and found the following one which is identical to mine (including rust!): http://www.etsy.com/listing/77461764/vintage-rusted-german-kaiser-clock But I still do not know its value…
If it’s fully working and the chrome is nicely polished, then a retail price of £100-150 would be fair.
Thanks for the info! Meantime I was looking for a tip either to repaint/restore it or to leave it as it is. It seems that the first solution is the one!
A mate made some cleaning works on it and my clock is running smoothly now. I am waiting for some warmer weather in order to repaint it! Thanks again!
