Description
Mounted on the main instrument panel, this clock needs no introduction. It was made famous throughout the war as one of the standard German Aircraft Cockpit Clocks. It was usually mounted on the front or side cockpit consoles and features a chronometer and adjustable bezel.
Made of BRASS, this 1st model Kienzle was produced between 1939 and 1942. It is an EXCELLENT example and retains 80% of its original Black Anodized finish on the sides (the finish did not last on these, so that is quite common). The hands still glow at night (must be charged with UV light). “KIENZLE” is prominently stamped onto the face and rather than having the Fl. Data Plate on the reverse, it features the number on the inside (probably dating this to 1939-ish). Some slight marks of the crystal, but nothing that detracts. 100% FUNCTIONAL, however the knob to set the time has been replaced. I may have an original one on hand to swap out, so please contact me beforehand, if interested. Would make a FANTASTIC addition to any Luftwaffe collection, display, or restoration project!
