Review Of Inexpensive Kassel Mechanical Kitchen Clock,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: KasselTM School House Regulator Style Clock (Kitchen)
The Kassel mechanical kitchen clock is an OK deal for 50 or 60 dollars but understand that this is an inexpensive clock (a good mechanical clock of this style will cost five or six hundred dollars).
It's made in China and has a very rough timing adjustment on the pendulum bob but as long as the clock runs when you get it that should be expected of an inexpensive clock. When I first received my clock it only ran a few hours and, after I made the first timing adjustment, it stopped within a few minutes after I'd restarted it. When I took a look at what was happening I realized that the clock was not in-beat (and there did not appear to be an adjustment for that). I found that the clock would run if I tilted the case ('clockwise' for my clock) and that is pretty conclusive proof that the connect and disconnect actions of the escapement are not happening symmetrically during the pendulum's swing. The clock isn't designed to be opened up (the back is attached to the case with staples like are used in upholstery work) and I haven't gone to the trouble to open it up (yet) because the clock is new (if the clock quits running in a few days I want to be able to return it). What I have since found is that there is something that allows some movement of the pendulum rod up near the pivot (can't see that far up into the case through the little door covering the pendulum) and if the pendulum bob is very gently manipulated I found that the in-beat position had shifted and my clock now runs correctly with the housing vertically oriented (i.e. no longer tilted). The problem with being able to do this is that it also means that any time I have to stop and adjust the pendulum bob then I will need to confirm that the escapement connect and disconnect points have not changed (otherwise the clock won't run reliably). Eventually (once I'm convinced that the clock is going to continue running for a reasonable length of time) I'll pull the back of the case off (taking out all those staples and later replacing them with a few wood screws) and see if I can understand (and correct) the slipping beat adjustment. I'll say once again ... this is an inexpensive mechanical clock; don't set your expectations too high. For a mechanical clock to hang on your kitchen wall (kitchen environments are not a friendly place for precision mechanisms due to humidity and other things in the air), and keep reasonably accurate time, this will probably be just fine. (For a good mechanical clock you'll need to start saving money and do some research before you spend it.)

A great clock with a deep, rich chime,
This is a great clock with a deep, rich chime. Heavy accent on the bass sound. It is easily set up on the wall, and assembly is a cinch - just find where you insert the pendulum.
You will need a level to hang it straight in order for it to chime. It is a bargain and will brighten up any home with it's classic antique looks and lovely chime. I have had mine for a few years and recommend it highly! Although it is a 31 day clock, I wind mine every 2 to 3 weeks. I have been told by a clock repairman that this is best.
