I have just received my Herlme clock today and it is absolutely beautiful, the time is perfect, the chimes are mesmerising and in all it was worth working for, I have worked a lot of hours to save for one of these clocks and now it's here I'm so pleased. The history and craftsmanship which are involved is unbelievable, I couldn't be happier. Thank you Herlme. 🤗💕💕💕💕.
I have a pre-WW2 Hermle mantel clock that my mother brought to Canada. It still works flawlessly. My daughter already knows she will be next in line to get it....
Why can you not buy a decent grandfather clock in Europe for an acceptable price, newly made rather than antique, they are either up in the 4-10 thousand euro bracket, or the cheaply made chinese type clocks for a couple of hundred euro, not that there is anything wrong with them, i have one i paid 600 euro for 14 years ago, and it still works, and looks pretty good in my opinion. it is a wind up clock with just the chimes, no westminster tune. Looking around for a clock with a Hermle mechanism for an acceptable price is very hard to find anywhere in Europe, Poland and Lithuania have a good selection at an affordable price with a Hermle mechanism, and some with westminster chimes, whittington, and st michael, but delivery outside of these countries is troublesome. North America have some gorgeous grandfather clocks at every price point, a decent grandfather clock in a true wood case with a great German mechanism, and at least a westminster chime, newly made in the last 20 years or so, should not be that hard to find in Europe of all places.
I'm hoping Hermle doesn't stop making clocks any time soon. Hermle is one of my favorite clock brands, and I don't know how I would feel if they ever stopped making clocks.
At 2:16, the hammer that is second from the camera, double strikes. You might think they'd catch that for an advertising video. Also, at 2:21, the clocks are designed to run 8 days, but are supposed to be wound every 7 days. The narrator was incorrect. The layout of the gear trains in Hermle movements are well thought out and are easily assembled compared to other 3 train clock brands. The spring barrels are always too thin on the gear side and the arbor hole wears oval because of it. The company several years ago, started bushing the holes of second wheel pivots, even though in my 35 years of repairing clocks, I've only seen wear at that place, maybe once or twice. Where the arbors come through the plates for gathering pallets and the drives for the chime, and chime cams, They always wear badly, but are not fitted with factory bushings. In the 1980's the company used plated soft steel wheel arbors, but have since discontinued this as the plating was prone to flaking off and caused the pivot holes to wear badly. I think that the springs in Hermle movements are excellent, being properly tempered. they break rarely except at the outer ends.
