Chime Rod – 12-5/8″ Threaded – 3.6mm Steel – 6.5 Thread – New Old Stock – Made in Germany – Individually Sold – Limited Supply
This 12-5/8″ steel chime rod is a precision-crafted replacement part sourced from discontinued German new old stock. Measuring 3.6mm in diameter with a 6.5 thread size at the base, it is threaded for secure installation into traditional chime blocks. Sold individually, it’s ideal for repairing or restoring chiming clocks without replacing the entire rod set.
Chime rods are used in mechanical clocks—such as grandfather, wall, or mantel styles—to produce melodic tones when struck by the clock’s hammers. This steel rod delivers a clear, resonant sound that enhances Westminster and other traditional chime sequences.
Once this limited inventory is gone, it will not be restocked.
