Regulator
pendulum clocks are among the finest clocks ever made. They are known for their high accuracy and precision, achieved through the use of a regulator.
This week's Clock of the Week is a timeless Hermle regulator, offered in three different wood finishes. Since it will not be released until mid-April, we would like to warmly invite all Hermle enthusiasts to pre-order the clock here in our online shop.
What makes regulator clocks special?
Regulator
pendulum clocks are among the finest clocks ever made. They are known for their high accuracy and precision, achieved through the use of a regulator.
A regulator is a mechanism that controls the oscillation frequency of the pendulum clock. Most pendulum clocks use an anchor escapement mechanism to regulate the oscillations. The regulator, however, is a more sophisticated mechanism that ensures greater accuracy and precision.
Regulator pendulum clocks are generally designed in a classic style and are characterized by their simplicity and elegance. The clock dial is usually laid out very clearly and features separate displays for hours, minutes, and seconds.
A regulator pendulum clock is typically powered by a spring-driven movement, which is wound by tightening the spring. The spring drives the gear train that controls the movement of the pendulum. The pendulum itself is usually very long and heavy, allowing it to swing very slowly. The length of the pendulum and the oscillation frequency are adjusted by the regulator to ensure greater accuracy and precision.
Regulator pendulum clocks have been made by clockmakers for centuries and are highly popular due to their accuracy and beauty. Although they are not used as frequently today as they were in the past, they remain a remarkable achievement of clockmaking and a symbol of craftsmanship and precision.
A timeless trio!
The three regulator clocks differ only in color and type of wood.
Hermle 71009-740351: This regulator has a black case. The metal parts, such as the pendulum, are made of nickel.
Hermle 71008-030351: This clock features a walnut case, and the metal parts are made of brass.
Hermle 71008-160351: This clock has a cherry wood case. The metal parts are also made of brass.
Thanks to the different variants, one of these three regulators can be chosen for almost any type of room.
The quality of all three models is beyond question.
In addition, all clocks play the 4/4 Westminster melody: At each quarter hour, part of the Westminster melody is played. With each additional quarter hour, another part of the melody is added. On the hour, the full melody sounds, followed by the clock striking the hour, provided the automatic night shut-off is not active.
