FAQs
How often do I need to wind the clock?
This model features an 8-day movement, so it should be wound once per week.
Does this clock require batteries?
No, this is a purely mechanical timepiece and does not require batteries.
Can I silence the bell strike?
The bell strike is a mechanical feature of this model; it is designed to strike every hour.
Where is the clock manufactured?
The Hermle 70503-000711 is proudly made in Germany.
What should I do if the clock loses time?
Mechanical clocks can be regulated via the pendulum bob. If the clock is slow, raise the bob slightly; if it is fast, lower it.
Troubleshooting
The clock has stopped ticking
Check if the weights have descended completely; pull the chain to wind the clock back to its starting position.
The bell does not strike at the correct time
Ensure the minute hand is set correctly by moving it slowly to the hour; check that no obstructions are touching the internal strike hammer.
The pendulum stops swinging
Verify that the clock is mounted perfectly level on the wall and ensure the pendulum is not hitting the frame or any structural elements.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the clock requires a stable, level surface on your wall to ensure the pendulum functions correctly. Once mounted, carefully hook the chains onto the mechanism, ensuring they are properly aligned. To wind the clock, pull the chain gently to raise the weight until it is near the top of the chain run. For care, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the steel elements; a soft, dry microfiber cloth is sufficient to remove dust. Because this is a mechanical clock, it is recommended to keep the clock away from direct drafty areas or high-humidity zones, which can impact the metal components over time.
