      Can't really see much in your one photo.

      In order to help identify your clock, please provide the following:

      Any and all information printed, stamped or labeled on the dial, movement, case, pendulum and key. This includes names, trademarks, serial/model/patent numbers and dates.

      How often does it need to be re-wound?

      Measurements of the dial and case. Please take measurements at the longest, widest, and deepest points only.

      Well lit photos of the entire case, with close-ups of the dial, movement and any distinctive decorative feature(s) or labels.

      Please note if the case appears to have a veneer, simulated or "faux" finish.

      Any additional provenance information available, date and location of purchase for example.

      This information will be very helpful, but it still may not lead to a definitive model or date.

      Looks like an HAC mantle clock from Germany. Depending on age can be fairly valuable. If it is, however, I think it wouldn't wind.. It would work on a pendulum. I'm NOT an expert but have coincidentally just purchased one that looks VERY similar.
