186cm Hand Polished Black Precision Floor Clock With Moon Phase By HERMLE

Measuring 186cm in height, this exquisite longcase clock features an elegant black hand polished case, and an impressive round modern dial with contrasting neat numerals and hands. At the front of the clock is a large bevelled glass panel, with another two smaller glass panels on the sides that allows high visibility into the impressive inner features including the clock movement, dial, polished weights and pendulum. For the highest accuracy, the clock uses a carbon pendulum stick with a famous "Huygen´scher Läufer", named after its inventor Huygens, and is attached to the pendulum rod in precision clocks. This is used in combination with a double cylinder pendulum. The true seconds indication is managed by a 60 step wheel, whilst the running of the clock is indicated by a separate hand on the dial.

In addition, this clock features a hand polished nickel plated bezel, solid graham anchors with ruby pallets, and ruby and precision ball bearings for greater accuracy and longevity. There are 6 ball bearings in the gear system, with 2 ruby bushings used for the third wheel, escape wheel and anchor. Anchor settings can be done with a precision screw on the pendulum stick. This exquisite clock features a high quality month-long running mechanism, meaning the clock only needs to be wound once every month, and it does not chime, offering a perfect solution for those who prefer a silent clock. The power reserve during winding keeps constant power to the movement to allow for the highest accuracy.

The overall design of this precision timepiece represents a perfect blend of high technology with elegance. Its timeless modern design showcases upscale ambience.

Traditionally, grandfather clocks have not changed much over the centuries and to this day they still represent the amazing craftsmanship of both clock making and carpentry, keeping in style with a passage of time that is still well loved in today’s society. These timeless designs serve as generational keepsakes, having existed for over 400 years already, and are commonly also referred to as ‘Longcase Clocks’, ‘Floor Clocks’, or ‘Tall-Case Clocks’.
