It's one of the last mechanical alarm clock factories left in the world (another one in CHina and the other one in Brazil). Here is the website<br />www.insa.rs<br />I got one of those, given to me as a birthday present back in... 1984, still ticking. At that time it was Made in Jugoslavia (now Serbia). But the superb quality, brass movement and so on is there.

All I did was knock the bell stand a bit loose, but this doesn't affect the workings or the alarm. In setting the alarm soon after the accident, I must have forgotten a couple times to move the lever over or wind the alarm, and then blamed a "broken" clock instead of myself. Since knowing better, it hasn't failed me yet.Dale Lundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058328213863828288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020940928322038817.post-35336247207967834802016-05-27T16:09:51.424-05:002016-05-27T16:09:51.424-05:00Thank you alot I have been searching for quite som...Thank you alot I have been searching for quite some time for the exact thing.

Except that I accidentally knocked mine off the dresser and it landed right on its head, causing the bell attachment to wobble a bit and it's affected the trustworthiness of the alarm. There's a good watch and clock repair shop in town, and I'll be proudly bringing my Sternreiter there to be fixed. It's worth it, and I do expect it to last generations. I really like this clock. The only complaint some might have is that the alarm is very loud.Dale Lundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058328213863828288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020940928322038817.post-70435585039174270022016-05-17T10:49:15.596-05:002016-05-17T10:49:15.596-05:00Hi.

Any major issues since you owned this clock? I gathered from your review that if properly maintained this piece should last a lifetime. Do you still feel this way? Thanks in advance!

Since my wife had a hard time waking up and the clock rang but she stayed in bed, her father gave her this Sturm Repeater. Every ten minutes it rang the bell again and again. It lasted for several years but one day she knocked it on the floor and this time it went Kaput. Never found another one like that one, her father died many years ago and that clock is only a memory. But it is true, no good clocks now at the stores.<br /> Wilfredo MoralesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020940928322038817.post-47321210577037652052013-08-22T23:40:47.637-05:002013-08-22T23:40:47.637-05:00Very happy.

Because it's not battery operated, you need occasionally to adjust the slower/faster lever. The turn-keys on the back need to be turned specific ways, so I keep looking at the directional arrows to be sure to do it right.<br />It's been a long time, though, since I've had a REAL clock, and it's so good to know that there are real mechanics in there - quality mechanics that should last for the rest of my life and beyond. I'd rather make occasional adjustments than worry about a failing battery or a power outage. And with wind-up watches, etc. I always tended to overwind, which sometimes broke the timepiece. But you can't overwind the Sternreiter. The mainsprings are strong. Even the instructions relieve us of this worry.<br />Yep, still very happy, and I highly recommend this clock. I'm spoiled now and will definitely never buy another Chinese one.Dale Lundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058328213863828288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020940928322038817.post-24838062841464894602013-08-22T20:55:41.771-05:002013-08-22T20:55:41.771-05:00Are you still happy with the clock?
