Kieninger - Quality since

1912

In its more than 100-year history, the clock factory, which was founded in 1912 by Joseph Kieninger, has stood for the highest quality craftsmanship. Especially in the field of mechanical movements for a wide variety of clock types such as grandfather clocks, wall clocks or table clocks, the brand is unique:  Kieninger is the oldest company specializing in mechanical movements  and that worldwide!

Kieninger's quest to create new innovations and high-quality timepieces has proven to be a true strategy for success over the years. The original principles of the art of clockmaking have been preserved to this day and form a wonderful connection to the origins of the company.

Numerous inventions and innovations in the world of clocks are due to the Kieninger company, which always has its finger on the pulse of time in the constant pursuit of improvement. Inventions such as the production of pinions with a special burnishing process, the automatic night switch-off for the striking mechanisms, a power reserve that guarantees that the movement continues to run during the winding process and much more. These are just a few of the innovations that Kieninger has developed over the decades.

Kieniger movements are, of course, only one component of the success story of the famous brand from the Black Forest. It is only when it is installed in elaborately crafted and classically designed cases that a good clockwork becomes a high-quality grandfather, wall or table clock, which will not only do its job for many decades, but also says a lot about its owner as a representative piece of furniture.

Many models are designed in different versions, resulting in product families that include grandfather, wall or table clocks in the same design – just in different sizes and thus suitable for a wide variety of occasions and facilities. Whether as a regulator for the living room, as a second table clock for the office or as a slim grandfather clock for the entrance area.

Kieninger offers lines in which modern, minimalist shapes predominate, as well as classic large clocks that evoke memories of old times. The modern models are lavishly painted using the abrasive lacquer process and have slim cases whose glass fronts and sides allow an insight into how the clock works. For lovers of classic grandfather clocks, Kieninger still presents a wide range of elaborately decorated large clocks, with powerful bases and headrests as well as handmade dials, which often also adorn a lunar calendar.
