Kieninger Clock Movement Availability
Most Kieninger mechanical clock movements are available and in stock. However, some Kieninger clock movement availability fluctuates back and forth. For instance, the H series movement will be in production for awhile and then it will go dormant. In other words, it is made for a short period of time and then the manufacturer will cease production for a period of time.
Similarly, other Kieninger clock movements are no longer available such as the popular 5 tubular bell Grandfather unit. So a restoration is the best option for this type of movement. Often, a restoration is the only option when a movement becomes obsolete. Also, when it comes to high end movements such as that one, the repair would be less expensive than a new one. Usually this is not the case but for these it is. In short, if there is any question about the movement you want to replace, just send an email and Clockworks will be able to sort out the availability of the Kieninger clock movement.
Examples of Kieninger Clock Movements:
Kieninger identification
Above all, Kieninger clock movements can be a bit tricky to tell what the exact movement is. Of course, the movement provides only part of the movement identification. Then, it is up to us to use the chart to figure out the rest of it. Thus narrowing down to the correct movement by selecting chain driven or cable driven. Also,the pendulum length, and so on. Again, if there is any question on Kieninger clock movement availability, just get in contact with us for assistance. Of course we realize this can be tough to figure out so we are always happy to help with this process.
Im so glad you have Kieninger in stock, thank you so much.
Nice article.
Hi,
I’m looking for a Kieninger movement reference in ordre to find and replace 2 spring barrel wheels which have brocken teeth.
Plates are 114x99x2mm. Reference is lacking (see pictures). I can’t find anywhere reference nor parts for the 2 barrel wheels.
Best regards
We need the movement numbers =
What is the movement number off of the back plate of the movement itself? This information would be directly off of the back plate of the clockworks itself stamped into the brass. Please see the attached picture as a reference.
(This information will not be on any of the paperwork that may have come with the clock, nor will it be on the wood case. This number will only be on the brass back plate of the movement itself only.)
This is because the manufacturer that made your clock case used many different movements for the same clock case.
See attached pic to see what we need please

Hi,
I actually gave all the infos I have in the previous message (see picture above).
The only inscription on the back plate is as follow : AJK – Original Kieninger – Made in Germany – No(0) Jewels unadjusted – 116 (only number stamped, which I suppose, is related to the theoretical length of the pendulum).
These are the only reference I have to determine the movement series.
No other number is stamped on both the plates.
I know it is few infos but it’s all I got…
Best regards
Hard to say with just the plate.
