Kienzle - TR/RZM-marked Alarm Clock

[jwburchell]

Never saw one of these before, but it does show a bit of age, plus some markings, and appears to be a genuine, period item. Hard to say, but I did recall the name of the maker, having seen it perhaps on some other kind of equipment or instrument dials - so I "googled" the maker's name and found a lot of information on the company, which is still producing clockworks today (see below):

QUOTE:
The brand Kienzle: German technology since 1822.
The German company, founded in 1822 in the Black Forest, soon becomes synonym of quality and precision and therefore a representative of German technology.
For more than a 100 years Kienzle specialises on the production of clocks (alarm clocks, automotive clocks, wall clocks, style clocks, grandfather clocks, etc.) advancing to one of the leader companies in this sector. The product range now includes mainly wrist watches. Kienzle Italia hat the exclusive right to distribute Kienzle products in Italy.

Still don't know if the one pictured is a wartime-produced item, or a later, post-war fantasy piece. Anybody out there know or seen one before?

Thanks,
John

That is a total fantasy, see this thread for more:

Thank you, Chris. A very interesting thread, confirming what I expected - although I had not seen the clock in-hand. I did do a search here on the Forum, but this thread did not come-up. No matter now and good thing I didn't buy this clock.
Thanks again and regards,
John
