The clock manufacturer Hermle
The family business
Hermle originated in Gosheim on the Swabian Alb. The region is considered a European center for machining technology and was once a hub of the German clock industry. Even today, it is known for its inventiveness and diligence. Under the name HUM Uhrenmanufaktur GmbH & Co. KG, Hermle produces and sells high-quality grandfather clocks, wall clocks, table clocks, ship's clocks, and regulators. These enjoy the highest level of popularity worldwide, and each individual clock is considered an excellent example of German clockmaking quality. The large clocks from the Hermle watch manufactory may not reinvent time, but they certainly give it a distinctive aesthetic.
While the classic grandfather clocks – inspired by the living spaces of a significant century – bring to life the culture and feeling of bygone times, Hermle's design grandfather clocks stand for creativity, purism, and innovation.

This
regulator is very modern compared to other regulators. The case is not made of brown pine or walnut wood, but of an elegant, matte black case with genuine metal inlays. The case has no elaborate flourishes, but is simple, straight, and cut in a rectangular shape. The long sides are fitted with glass, allowing a view inside the clock. There you can see the dial, the weight, as well as the carbon pendulum rod. The dial is silver-colored with black Roman numerals, baton markers, and blue hands. The
pendulum clock has a decentralized seconds display. This is a mechanical clock with a mechanical cable-driven movement, a precision movement, a 31-day power reserve, and 6 ball bearings. This clock is the right choice for your modern living space. Please note that this regulator will be ready to ship in about four weeks after the order is received.
