Most times your clock movement can be serviceable with just a good cleaning and oiling. Hermle Clocks are notorious for pivot bushing wear if not oiled in a timely fashion. Best to clean and oil them once every 3 to 4 years after their first 8 years of running. I believe that clocks take on the charters of the people who own them. I find this to be true from watching and servicing my customer's prize clocks for over 40 years. I had a couple married for 40 years sadly the husband was dying of cancer when I stopped to look at his clock his last wishes " can you patch it up to run for a bit" Those words broke my heart so I removed the movement and serviced it free of charge sadly he passed on before I could return the movement. I have always loved bringing joy to others. The Bench Jeweler
....just thinking about replacing the Hermle with a RC work, sadly no chime. The case is 60 yrs old, but a very rare design, surface partly like a mirror.....
Nothing takes the place of a mechanical chime with good chime rods. If the case is 60 yrs old what a wonderful old clock. You should first check out your movement a be sure it's not serviceable. Look for the movement number on the back of the movement see what you have it's possible you can replace the whole movement. Best Wishes The Bench Jeweler.
I like to keep up with-in the clock world so here's wondering how you're doing with the 60-year-old clock. Here's hoping you didn't replace the Hermle. Best Wishes The Bench Jeweler.
Very happy to hear how you explain the whole mechanism in detail and thank you for sharing your 40 years of experience with us.
Always a pleasure Angel
Thank you very helpful.
I'll have to check the timing on mine as it keeps stalling.
