That typeface is unlike anything I've seen on German equipment (tanks, aircraft, ships, etc.), chances are it's a cheap knockoff, or military inspired gadget. Build quality doesn't seem that great either, nor does it look particularly old.

This, I'd also guess it's probably from the 1980's
Possible but not likely.
No its real old... Grey patina.. Also the Nummer glows in the dark

>Numbers are in English
Do you mean the font is an English font?
>>34243952
No I mean the numbers, if it was German they'd be written in German.

Hmm will sell it this weekend over the net
Horologist fag here not a tank watch/clock looks more like a German flieger if your grandpappy was a nazi likely he was in the lufftwaffe if not probably looted corpse for trophies common at the time

Noone leaves clocks on a cemetary. But it could be well be marble. This type of clock is a mantelpiece clock. Fairly crude and worn, and could in theory have been rebuilt from something else but I doubt it.

>>34244014

>>34244015
Nazi fucker probably stole a flieger instrument or found one if it says IWC junghans stowa or kiezel anywhere on it you have big bucks
Show the back of the movement it will probably have a makers mark somewhere on it

So you are talking about the font.
Fraktur? Other Germanic font?
HA! My captcha was for street signs. One was Liebknecht Strasse!
>>34243883
I searched for a while but found nothing. If anything this clock is so old and crude that it may have been made closer to ww1 than ww2. But the intentionally removed text is interesting and I have some theories about that. One is that there was some sort of NSDAP text, but I don't really like that theory becase they would write that on the front, not hide it. Another is that the text was the name of a former owner. Third: if the owner had been on the eastern front the clock could have been war booty. Not a thing you would want the Russian occupants to see when it was their turn to go house visits.

No he mean the numbers, if it was German they'd be written in German

I always thought German numbers were longer than English numbers to be honest.
>>34247450
Spelling them out, yes
For example:
Two hundred forty three
becomes
Zweihundertdreiundvierzig
But 243 in english is 243 in german
