86cm Black 8 Day Mechanical Regulator Wall Clock By HERMLE

A Modern Take On A Traditional Wall Clock

Nothing says timeless charm quite like this high quality traditional wall clock, designed by world renowed clock makers HERMLE from Germany, where the company was established in 1922.

Measuring 86cm in height, this stunning wall clock represents a fine example of an 8 day regulator wall clock, which features an elegant polished black lacquer case and light wood edging, allowing high visiblity into the movement from all angles. In addition, this clock has contrasting features that include chrome weights, pendulum and accessories. This impressive clock is rounded out by an elegant white dial with dashes that act as numerals (aside from the numbers 12 and 6), with the aesthetic of the whole design being simplicity and high quality. This chiming clock has three winding holes evident in the dial, each linked to a different spring- one drives the timekeeping pendulum, the second gives power to the chime, and the last spring is linked to the strike that strikes the time on the hour once the chime is completed - an example would be the clock striking 3 times at 3 o’clock. Chiming clocks such as this one typically chime the famous Westminster chime aka the Big Ben chime, however in most clocks they can also be silenced manually should that be preferred. This particular model also features an automatic night off function, which will disengage the chiming through the evening, allowing you a sound sleep before recommencing again the next morning. As it is mechanically operated this is a pre-set time and requires the clock to be set in the correct 12 hour cycle. This exquisite clock also features a high quality 8 day running weight driven mechanism, meaning the clock only needs to be wound once every 8 days.

As mechanical clocks often runs for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for many years without stopping, it is highly recommended to get a service and a maintenance clean every 7 to 10 years. This should always be carried out by a qualified professional clockmaker.

This beautifully designed clock by HERMLE is aesthetically pleasing and represents a highly accurate timepiece, suitable for those looking for a traditional wall clock that is reliable, elegant and great at keeping time.

What is a Regulator Wall Clock?

A regulator wall clock is defined as a weight driven clock regulated by a swinging pendulum. This type of clock was invented in the late 1700’s, to improve the accuracy of spring wound clocks. Regulator wall clocks are available in both striking and chiming weight driven models, as well as highly precise clocks that do not make a sound, and rather than winding a spring in the dial, the weights are wound similar to that of a grandfather clock. Some models are both weight and spring wound, so the weight delivers constant power to the pendulum to keep the time, whilst the chimes and strike are operated by springs. This type requires winding using a crank key in the dial, with the weights suspended from a carriage that moves on a cable, which gets wound once a week.

Mechanical weight driven regulators are beautiful clocks that are often larger in size, creating a statement piece similar to that of a grandfather clock or floor standing clock without taking up as much space.

Why Choose A Traditional Wall Clock?

Both elegant and timeless in design, traditional wall clocks add a touch of nostalgia and old world charm, and can make a beautiful addition to any room in your home. Crafted with attention to detail, these elegant timepieces commonly feature impressive walnut, cherry & brass casings, where the overall design style and craftsmanship hasn't changed much over the centuries. Whilst many of these beautiful designs offer an alternative to the more modern and contemporary round wall or office clocks that are commonplace today, some designers are producing more modern looking traditional wall clocks, offering a fresh take on a classic design to better suit the modern space.
