Kieninger Clocks Turns 105 Years Old in 2017.

Kieninger Clocks and Steps in Time.  With the beginning of the industrialization, the Kieninger grandfather clocks were setting the pace. Just as the wheels of a clock movement work together converting the clock pulse into motion, the working people had to adapt to the machines and work as precisely as a clock. The clock was an instrument to measure working time and efficiency. Speed and piece rates determined the daily work.

Some centuries ago, our ancestors went to bed with the last rays of sunlight and got up at cock-crow in the early morning. What gave them orientation was the course of nature, the changing of the seasons and the position of the sun. At the end of the 13th century, when the mechanical wheel clock was invented in a monastery, people did not know that this invention should lead to a completely different consciousness of time in the centuries to follow.

Nowadays, the beat of time is even faster: We accelerate by doing several things at the same time. We talk on the telephone whilst surfing the worldwide web. Endlessly blinking displays that show us the time are chasing us through our daily routine. Time has become a short and precious resource. Doesn’t in this high-speed society a wall or table clock seem like a needless relict from a long time ago? But maybe we gain time by pausing for a moment and withdrawing from the time pressure of the presence. The unhurried ticking of a clock creates a homelike atmosphere that makes us relax and enjoy time again.

The combination of precious materials, exclusive design and technical precision make it possible to create tasteful and elegant living accessories of a lasting value. They combine sophisticated technical knowledge with aesthetic pleasure and let us experience “Time in its most beautiful shape”.

A slogan which has been valid for the Kieninger Clocks for 10 years now.  Kieninger is the eldest existing German manufacturer for mechanical clocks.

    I read the history of Kieninger Clocks. It has really quite long history in time, 105 years old. It’s true the combination of material is so exquisite. I had seen one of Kieniger clock collection. It was amazing. That’s why Kieniger clock was really known well at that time and as the eldest at German manufacturer. Evidently not only German had the story of grandfather clocks, but Netherland had it as well. By accidental, I found the site about the invention of the grandfather clock and its history at https://gudemeis.com/stilistische-ontwikkeling-hollandse-staande-klok-begin-2/. Quite interesting knowing it. So, for knowing more about history of the Dutch grandfather clock, we could first go to England because that is the source.
