Hello Collectors!

Just want to show my lovely WW2 Kriegsmarine ships clock made by Kieninger & Obergfell which I am thinking about to sell. Comments are very welcome!

I just love it and I'd love to have it.
It's somehow always on my list, but never was on the first place.

I just received an email from my ex-wife in England that a friend of hers has the same KM ships clock (10749 N) taken off a ship by her father and she is asking me the valuation. Since I don't collect anything KM...I don't have a clue so can anyone give me a estimated value. She sent a pic by IPhone and it appears to be in the same condition as the one shown but I cannot attach it as the JPEG file is too large.

Values are all over the place. I've seen these from $750 to $3500 with no apparent differences upon first viewing. Questions you should address before purchase: Does it have original clockwork and is that clockwork consistent with what should be in that particular model, does it run, how is the silver on the dial, is there any paint left on the body, does the body or dial have any damage, is the glass original, what series eagle is it, do the numbers match, are the mounting tabs complete, have the clock hands been replaced or are they damaged? If everything comes together as original and correct and the clock has not been messed with; you can expect to pay around $2500 for a quality example with the higher money going to ones with perfect condition and examples with historical providence. I have seen prices going down lately ,but like all quality militaria , It will work its way back up. If you are not pulling this clock out of the woodwork.............make sure you know your seller and his reputation. These clocks can be a real minefield or they can be among the most rewarding of Third Reich material to the Kriegsmarine collector.

Hi,
I am new to the forum. I have a KM bulkhead clock that I first saw in 1968. I acquired it from the owner in 1996. It was the possession of a naval officer who was at Bikini atomic test and had removed one of the clocks from the Prinz Eugen (naturally prior to the atomic detonation). He subsequently was with the Nuclear Reg Commission in '50's and it went to purchaser of his home from whom I purchased it. It only has handwritten tag specifying it was from PE and is "excellent timekeeper". I have had it serviced regularly and it runs 24/7, truly an "excellent timekeeper"! Interestingly, when it was first shown to me as a teenager, the Prinz Eugen connection was stated with no great panache or fanfare but rather in a "matter of fact" manner as if not of great import. As this clock "witnessed" the demise of HMS Hood etc, I marvel every time I look at it.
