Hermle Mantel Clock Review

I recently purchased this Hermle Mantel Clock after deciding that I really wanted a "skeleton clock" mechanical clock. I love the wide open design of this one, allowing me to see all of the clock's moving parts (expect for the main spring which is well-contained inside a metal cylinder). This one has a nice, gentle hourly strike along with a soothing, constant ticking sound the rest of the time. The hourly strike is a bell that's not too quiet but also not too loud. The bell rings just once at the top of each hour (unlike some other clocks which would strike the bell once at 1:00, twice at 2:00, three times and 3:00, etc.).

The bell is like the top of the hour chime on electronic watches. It reminds that the time is running. Especially good if you tend to be distracted. You can also get an app which does the same on the phone. I have it set to chime bottom of the hour and top.

That's a lovely lantern clock. I didn't know that style was being made today. Did it come with a glass dome to keep it away from dusy? If not, you m9ght consider that. You can get them as replacements for broken anniversary clock domes. Nice video.

Hi Greg Another very informative review of a very nice looking clock, but as you say I can imagine it being a nightmare to keep clean, I wonder who will get that task in your house, I also see you're wearing your new Bulova hope you're enjoying it , keep up the good work stay safe.

An interesting and informative review from Greg - but what about it's timekeeping performance? This would have made a valuable aspect for me, as I have a similar Hermle clock but have no idea what accuracy to expect at best.

Sir when i was in high school the Industrial arts Teacher arranged that the scholars made the frames which included a glass door to open & close he ordered the beautiful Imbuia wood & yellow wood which is a hard wood the battery operated mechanisms was screwed to a strong like chip board wood & designed the wood at the top & base to with the frame i remember as this was woodwork class the frame on all sides were dove tail joints once put together with glue this was early 1980 in South Africa the minute hands started to miss time but the beautiful chimes were four been Westminster , Whittington , Bim Bam & AVA Maria still to this day the CHIMES SOUNDS & PERFECT TIMING IS brilliant if only i could take a Photo from my smart phone & forward to you to show you what it looks like?

Greg, I think it's pronounced Hermla, kind of like Porsch-a or Heid-a which are spelled ending in 'e'.

I won’t claim to know enough German to get it right. But I will confess that I tried to pronounce it the way the announcer does in this video which seems like some kind of official marketing piece... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXS4YpmKZt-XjLs

It’s between “Herml-ah” and “Herml-eh”. Just as noted earlier. No one drives a “Porsch-ee”.
