Nice and interesting observation jawgagal. There are no longer any American manufacturing of mechanical clock movements to any degree. Most of the mechanical clock movement for the last thirty to fourty years are by German manufacturers with the names of Hermle, Urgos, and Keininger. Howard Miller, Ridgeway, Seth Thomas, and other American clock makers use the German movements. Not nearly the quality of the early American. German, and French movements. Germany and that region of the World were once renown for their clock. Now days it is the accuracy and the convenience of the Quartz movements in both clocks and watches. Could you tell whether the clocks you saw while in Germany were mechanical or not? I suspect the Germans may still be using clocks with mechanical movements to a larger degree than the U.S.
