Product Information
Full details
The Hermle Mechanical Tabletop Clock is designed for enthusiasts of fine horology and interior décor who appreciate traditional craftsmanship. This piece provides the unique benefit of a visual mechanical display coupled with a classic aesthetic, serving as both a reliable timekeeper and a sophisticated centerpiece for desks or mantels. A key caveat for potential owners is that because this is a mechanical clock with a 14-day gear movement, it requires periodic manual winding to maintain consistent operation.

FAQs
How often do I need to wind the clock?
The movement features a 14-day gear time function, so it should be wound once every two weeks.
Can I turn off the hourly strike?
This model is designed with an integrated strike feature. Consult the manual if you wish to silent the strike, though many mechanical models require specific lever adjustments.
How do I clean the brass movement?
Use only a dry, soft brush to gently remove dust. Avoid liquids, oils, or sprays as they can attract dust and damage the clock mechanism.
Is the piano finish delicate?
Yes, the piano finish is a high-gloss surface. Treat it similarly to fine wooden furniture and avoid placing hot or wet objects directly on the wood.
Where is this clock manufactured?
This clock is manufactured in Germany by Hermle Uhrenmanufaktur.
Troubleshooting
Clock has stopped running
Check if the clock is fully wound. If wound, ensure the clock is perfectly level on its surface.
Strike sounds inconsistent
Ensure the clock is on a flat surface and that the bell hammer is not obstructed by debris or packaging materials.
Loss or gain in time
Adjust the regulator on the balance wheel. Move it slowly toward the + or - sign to speed up or slow down the beat respectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your clock, place it on a stable, level surface. Carefully remove any protective packaging from the internal gear mechanism. To wind the clock, use the provided key to turn the mainspring arbor in the direction indicated by the movement markings. Avoid over-winding to prevent mechanical stress. For care, wipe the walnut housing with a soft, dry lint-free cloth to maintain the piano finish. Do not use chemical cleaners or wax as they may damage the inlay work. If you plan to move the clock, ensure the pendulum or movement components are secured to prevent damage during transit.
