Hermle Antique Style Lantern Table Clock with Hour Strike 23004-000711

This is a lovely skeleton clock made entirely from brass with a single silvery chime every hour. I bought a glass dome to go over it to stop it getting dusty. After fiddling about with the length of the pendulum for a while, I got it running pretty much on time. You can alter the length of the pendulum and thus the time it keeps by means of a hand-adjustable screw at the bottom of the weight. Be warned that metal pendulums expand and contract as the room temperature changes, so, outside of perfectly controlled room temperatures, the time it keeps will vary.

Love this item

This is a beautiful mechanical clock. The ticking sound is noticeable but not annoying, and the hourly bell is pleasant. Note that the back of the clock does have a keyhole-shaped opening that would allow for wall mounting, although this is clearly meant to be a table or mantel clock. I decided to place it under a glass dome to protect the exposed mechanism from dust. Instead of the expensive domes I've seen online, I went to a hobby/craft supply store and purchased an extra-large (8x12") glass dome and matching wooden base for about $21 total. This works great, although the dome is a bit too tall, so I'm looking for a pedestal of some kind to place under the clock so that it will be better centered top-to-bottom. The ticking and bell are still nicely audible through the dome. The price I paid for the clock on Amazon was about $50 less than I've seen anywhere else for the same clock. It is clearly brand new, in the correct factory packaging with the documentation. A great buy, I've very happy with it.

El reloj es hermoso pero se atrasa constantemente. Solo es un adorno y no tiene funcionalidad. Pensé en devolverlo pero se me cerró la ventana de devolución. No lo recomiendo, es mala compra.

Zegar jest wizualnie ładny. Po tygodniu regulacji długość wahadła działa prawidłowo. Polecam

Orologio molto bello, dopo un paio di aggiustamenti del pendolo, seguendo le istruzioni, è risultato assolutamente preciso. Molto gradevole (non disturba nelle ore notturne) il rintocco dell'ora.

Helt belåten.
