In 1912 the Kieninger Clock Factory was founded in the Black Forest by Joseph Kieninger and therefore is the oldest existing manufacturer of mechanical clock movements for grandfather-, wall- and mantel clocks in the world.
Since 1917 the Company has been located in Aldingen, a charming village just between Black Forest and ”Schwäbische Alb”.
Today, the Company occupies a 54.000 square foot manufacturing facility, newly constructed in 1991 and employs about 100 dedicated and highly skilled workers and staff. In 1993, Kieninger became part of the Howard Miller Group (USA), the largest manufacturer of grandfather clocks in the world.
Kieninger movements satisfy highest demands
and captivate with their high level of craftsmanship
and reliability. State of the art technology
combined with the finest materials and the
experience of almost 100 years in crafting clock
movements provide this guarantee.
Kieninger movements offer a multitude of partially
patented technical specialities:
All movements include one of our patented automatic
night shut-off features between 10.00 PM
and 7.15 AM (4/4 hour movements) or 10.00 PM
and 7.00 AM (1/2 hour movements).
Kieninger movements offer Graham anchor escapement
with the patented Kieniramic7 solid anchor
and our also patented automatic beat adjustment,
mantel clocks feature a Swiss escapement.
The correct second indication as used in almost all
our clocks is possible with another patented
Kieninger design.
Kieninger movements feature many stainless steel
components and all pinions are finished in a special
process developed by Kieninger.
Most cable movements are fitted with maintaining
power, providing continuous power while the movement
is wound.
All cable movements with 4/4-chime have separate
chime-off functions for melody and hour chime.
Cable movements of the H, K and M-series have
special winding stops, limiting the drop and win -
ding range of the weights.
