The Hermle 1050 020 - Part 25

[@workbenchz]

Thank you for that "correction" at the end. I recently acquired a mantle clock with the exact same movement; cleaned and oiled it, and have been trying to adjust it losing time. Now I understand why I was doing wrong.

Glad it helped!

I just inherited a couple clocks with 1050-020 movements from my father. Really appreciate your videos on getting them calibrated. Thanks again 👍

[@roncalverley]

The hand-me-downs! Yes! Meaningful 👍

Thanks for the info. I couldn't tell which screw that little diagram was intended for.

[@katemills9834]

Thanks I'm going to try this, my clock is running slow about a minuet each day. Very helpful!

Thank you for this info I have an older Bulova Westminster chime that I am trying to calibrate with a similar movement.

I was turning it the wrong way thanks again for your help.

I'd like to add a little information that might help some viewers of your video. A person who is not a collector or otherwise very familiar with different clocks might have a Hermle movement that is very similar in that it has a balance wheel but doesn't have that little screw adjuster to regulate the timekeeping. The earlier versions of this movement had a balance wheel that was suspended vertically by a helical spring. You might think that the balance wheel would bounce around but in fact there is a very fine steel wire running through two jewels on the balance wheel shaft. While this type of balance was technically superior, it had two disadvantages. One was that it required great dexterity to change the timing rate. The other disadvantage is that is was more expensive to produce. Now to adjust the rate on that type of balance, you had to gently hold the balance wheel and move a lever that was on the balance wheel itself. This moved weights in and out to change the rate. Any person without fine manual dexterity who tries this will probably damage the mechanism. If you have that type of balance wheel I advise that you find other videos that refer to the adjustment od the "floating balance". Some videos might refer to the type of balance in this video as a floating balance, but that is incorrect. This is a simple balance wheel movement.

My father was gifted a clock very similar to the one you featured here in this video. Well, he gifted it to me. YEAH! I then took it to a clock repair place that specialized in grandfather clocks and antiques. They were supposed to get it cleaned, because it hadn't been running for over a decade, which they did and they lubricated the gears and what not. My question is, after doing the adjustments you did in this video, the clock is running 7 to 8 minutes slow per day. I think I'm running out of adjustment. Is there anything else I should check or should I take it back to the clock shop?

[@roncalverley]

Take it back!

[@spacecowboy306]

thank you very much for explaining this to me.

[@roncalverley]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tristangardner3889]

Thanks a lot. This'll be a big help.

[@roncalverley]

You're welcome 👍

[@bobcatloader123]

That help me a lot on a clock that I was trying to get it working

I thought I'd somehow missed 24 episodes of a brand new series! Calm down, Ian, all is as it should be.

[@roncalverley]

Not to worry Ian. Be seeing you in about 3 hours. 😁

[@abrahamwu9680]

I noticed in the final video (24), that the clock struck the hours at around 2 minutes past the hour. How can you adjust it so that it chimes right on the hour at the 12 mark? Thanks!

[@roncalverley]

Watch this video. It describes how I do it too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qV6cap1shrh2pas

[@user-pq7ej9dw3l]

I have a 50+ year old Franz Hermle 340-020A movement. It runs fast 10-15 minutes a day. Would recommend replace, clean, or repair for this? Thank you.

[@roncalverley]

Clean! 🤞

[@johnmchenry5472]

I rewind the dial wrong way now clock running hours ahead the same one you are showing when turn to right is doing nothing please help

[@roncalverley]

Hi John, Sorry, but I don't fully understand. Perhaps take you clock in for repair. Good luck! 🤞

[@richardhoover8021]

So does turning the screw clockwise slow down or speed up?

[@roncalverley]

Oh my goodness! That was years ago. Sorry, but can't recall that now. 🤞

my hermle mantle clock is around 1 sec per hour slow after adjustment by me. i measure it very precisely. as it windows down, it slows a bit more (toward the 5 to 7 day mark). is about 1 sec per hour as good as i will get OR should I keep at it? i am happy with it now, less than 2 mins per week. thats better than most rolex. thanks

[@ScottAReid]

by the way, your video is how i figured it out in the 1st place. on mine, turning it clockwise speeds it up.

[@roncalverley]

👍

[@ScottAReid]

@@roncalverley did you read my question above? wondering if i should strive for better or leave it as is?

[@roncalverley]

@@ScottAReid Hi Scott. Sounds as though your clock is about 3 minutes a week slow. I think that my movement is about one minute per week fast. Perhaps try to very slightly adjust and see what happens. Good luck. 👍🤞

[@ScottAReid]

@@roncalverley thanks. will give it a very slight turn faster. as small as i can make it. thanks for the video. it helped me figure out what was going on. the clock place said, "dont you do it." guarantee i can get it closer than they can. i will spend the time to do it.

[@louisgran]

Thank you so much it worded😊
