The movement is then wound from the front and accessed from the back. It comes complete with its pendulum and key as is ticking away as it should. The movement is then “ting tang” and strikes one ting tang on the quarter past, two on the half past, three of the quarter to, and the number of hours on the hour via two gongs. Finally the movement is stamped “W&H SCH 4” to show that it was made by the famous German maker Winterhalder & Hofmeier.
