This clock, however, dates from the late 1970s and takes up the characteristic form of these historical predecessors. The classical arrangement of slender columns supporting the clock case above was reinterpreted in the design language of its own era, resulting in a distinctly more modern and restrained appearance. Light-coloured marble, slender columns and gold-coloured details make this an unusual clock that invites a second look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt certainly does not need a traditionally furnished setting. Whether displayed as a mantel clock on a mantelpiece, on a simple sideboard or on an old chest of drawers, its distinctive form comes beautifully into its own. Surprisingly, it also works very well alongside modern furniture. A few books, a picture or a single beautiful object beside it are quite enough. This is a clock that can happily be the one object in the room that stands a little apart from the rest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInside is not simply a decorative clock, but a solid mechanical movement by Urgos.

At the half-hour, it sounds one double strike. On the hour, the number of double strikes corresponds to the hour.

Its elegantly curved wooden case belongs to the family of so-called balloon clocks: the rounded upper section surrounds the dial, while the case narrows below before widening again towards the base. Fine inlays in contrasting shades of wood follow the contours of the case, while a floral inlay below the dial provides a distinctive decorative accent. The light-coloured dial with black Roman numerals and dark hands is framed by a gold-coloured brass bezel. The combination of flowing contours, contrasting woods, inlays and brass gives the clock an elegant presence despite its compact size.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIts design can be traced back to the late 18th century. Particularly in England, table and mantel clocks with characteristic curved, balloon-shaped cases were produced at that time, often complemented by decorative veneers and inlays. The term “balloon clock” refers to the shape of the case rather than to a particular type of movement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Hermle clock takes up that historic design tradition and combines it with the mechanical clockmaking technology of the 1980s. It therefore continues a long tradition of domestic clocks in which timekeeping, craftsmanship and the sound of a striking mechanism come together.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe clock was made by Franz Hermle \u0026amp; Sohn in Reichenbach am Heuberg in southern Germany.

Unlike a traditional pendulum clock, its rate is regulated not by a freely swinging pendulum but by a balance wheel and hairspring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe technical principle behind this floating balance is based on the design developed and patented by Hugo Hettich. Hermle manufactured the regulator used here itself, but employed the fundamental principle of Hettich’s floating balance. This construction allows a comparatively large balance wheel to operate with very little load on its bearings. Reduced friction and an even oscillation provide favourable conditions for stable and accurate timekeeping.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor a table or mantel clock, this construction also offers several practical advantages. The clock requires no space for a pendulum and is less sensitive to slight variations in its position than a traditional pendulum clock. After the clock has been moved, there is no pendulum that needs to be put back into beat. Fine regulation also allows the movement’s rate to be adjusted precisely.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Hermle calibre 130 became a long-lived and successful design within the company’s range.

Its round, glazed clock head is set at the centre of an elongated base. The splayed feet and the contrast between the lighter wood and darker surfaces give the clock a distinctive presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe light-coloured chapter ring frames the wooden centre of the dial. Gold-toned hour markers and hands stand out subtly against it. The glazed front opens to reveal the dial. Its low, wide shape looks particularly at home on a sideboard, chest of drawers or shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin and historical context\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe clock was made in the 1960s by VEB Harzer Uhren Gernrode in the Harz region. It comes from the former German Democratic Republic (GDR). Its design belongs to the Mid-Century period, combining clean lines with the warmth of wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Harz has a long tradition of clockmaking. The clear form and careful workmanship of this piece reflect the design of domestic clocks from that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe movement and its mechanics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInside is the original mechanical movement, without a striking mechanism. The clock is wound with a key; batteries or a mains connection are not required for mechanical operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe completely dismantled the movement in our workshop, cleaned and overhauled it, lubricated it professionally and tested it. We then adjusted its rate. The clock runs reliably and keeps good time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis buffet clock can once again do what it was made to do: keep time reliably and continue its story in a new home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCase, dial and design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe case consists of a round, glazed clock head and a broad, elongated base. The slightly splayed feet lift the base above the surface. The different warm brown tones of the wood create a balanced contrast with the lighter dial surround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial is round and clearly laid out. A light-coloured chapter ring surrounds the central wooden panel, while gold-toned hour markers and hands complete the design. The front glass is set in a hinged frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition and restoration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe case has been thoroughly cleaned and restored. The original mechanical movement was dismantled, cleaned and overhauled, then professionally lubricated and tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe clock is in very good original condition. Age-related signs of use and surface wear may be present.

A quartz movement with a chime cannot be fitted to this model. If you would like the conversion, please add the option for a quartz movement without a chime to your basket along with the clock.
