{"product_id":"hermle-tischuhr-mit-schwebegang-und-bim-bam-gong-1960er-jahre","title":"Hermle Table Clock with Floating Balance, Calibre 150-010, 1960s","description":"\u003cp\u003eWarm wood, a light-coloured dial and slender brass feet give this Hermle mantel clock a distinctive elegance. Its elongated case appears balanced and light, while the trapezoidal dial forms a striking focal point. The fine brass-coloured frame, slim hour markers and dark hands with gold-coloured accents preserve the clear design character of the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe delicate brass feet lift the wooden case with an almost floating lightness. The clock sits beautifully on a sideboard, console or chest of drawers, where it can be paired with personal favourite objects. It also works well on a simple contemporary piece of furniture, where its unusual shape can speak for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin and period\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Hermle mantel clock dates from the 1960s. The Franz Hermle \u0026amp; Sohn clock factory was based in Reichenbach am Heuberg in the Swabian Alb and is known for its clock movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMovement and mechanism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside is a mechanical Hermle movement, calibre 150-010, with a floating balance escapement. The Bim-Bam striking mechanism chimes on three rods: once on the half hour and, on the hour, the number of times corresponding to the hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCase, dial and design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elongated wooden case stands on slender brass feet at either side. The light-coloured dial is trapezoidal and framed by a narrow brass-coloured rim. Slim hour markers and dark hands with gold-coloured accents complete its clean design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition and restoration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe movement was completely dismantled in our workshop, thoroughly cleaned and serviced, reassembled, professionally oiled and adjusted. The photograph of the dismantled Hermle calibre 150-010 documents this work. The clock was checked after servicing. It is running very well and keeps accurate time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe light-coloured dial has slight changes in colour, visible in the photographs. Further signs of age and use may be present. The photographs form part of the description and show the condition of the clock offered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOperation and chime\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can watch the clock running and listen to its chime in our video.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVideo with sound: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/x57vUm17No0\"\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/x57vUm17No0\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOption to convert to a modern quartz movement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis clock can be converted to a modern quartz movement, either with or without a chime.
