Hermle Wrought Iron Wall Clock, Black, 62 cm x 15 cm x 10 cm

Perfect! (But please see further information in the comments section) Lovely and discreet tick-tock, as is the gentle 'ping' of the hourly chime. I've had it for a month and having adjusted it via the knurled nut on the end of the pendulum, it's now accurate to about a minute a week, which is more than can be said for some quartz watches. At risk of sounding a bit Asperger's, I can sit gazing at the thing for hours, admiring the skeleton movement and function; really nice engineering; the pendulum's oscillation is just under one per second: very relaxing and, like the chime, IMO is not in the least intrusive. My wife says I should get out more, although she is to blame for it's presence in the house, what with its existence being due to my thinly-veiled hint just before my birthday and my receiving it as a present. Highly recommended. PS: I've wanted one of these for at least ten years, having seen it in a friend's house, at which time it was £110. PPS: Never fear of damage in transit; the packaging was robust and the clock arrived intact! And one last thing: take care to hang the clock exactly perpendicular so the pendulum swings equi-distant each swing. PS: One year later, please see the comments section! PPS: The old one's hanging on the wall, still beautiful but not ticking! So I've just ordered another. Too good to be without! Just in time for Christmas too :)

The clock appears to be beautifully made, but closer inspection shows that the face of the clock is loose and wobbles. Also the pendulum was slightly scuffed upon unboxing.Also the clock has never kept time ever in the year I’ve owned it.It runs slow, a couple of days go by and it will lose sometimes up to 10 mins.I keep adjusting the pendulum up every time but it doesn’t seem to ever make a difference, the clock keeps running very inaccurately.So it’s more of a nice ornament than an actual clock that you can use. The chime is very nice but it’s a disappointment hearing it going off when my watch shows 8 minutes past the hour….

I am delighted with this clock. It keeps superb time, adds movement to a room that otherwise sits with nothing happening - and gives such a reassuring tick-tock. The fact that it comes from Germany pleases me because they have such great engineers and care so much about precision. I may not have mounted it quite high enough on the wall - so it may not have room for the weight to keep descending for the full 7 or 8 days for which it is capable. However it's set to be attractive and to balance visually with pictures, mirror etc and if it only goes for 6 days I'm happy. It tells you visually when it's near the end of its downwards journey. What I like is the simplicity of this clock - one of the earliest designs which requires nothing digital, my personal energy, no batteries, no wifi....... and works just as well. It is attractive and traditional.

This clock is excellent value for money and makes a great showpiece in our lounge.The clock came well packed from Germany and was easy to put together and mount on a wall.Found it easy to set-up and maintain. it does take a while to get the clock adjusted to keep reasonable time but worth persevering.The only criticism is that the hands to tend to get lost on the clock face and can indistinct at a casual glance.

Received a prime delivery in 2 days. The clock was well packed and easy to prepare for use. It hangs from 1 screw/wall plug and needs at least 5ft 6 ins of space below for the weight chain to drop down. The pendulum swing is about 6 ins wide. The tick is very subdued and the hourly ping of the bell is unobtrusive. I think the clock (I chose a black one) is very attractive and seems to be accurate set as received. It is nice that it runs for 8 days or so before needing winding by pulling the weight chain. I recommend it.

This clock is mounted at the top of our stairs on a plain white background where it looks stunning.After mounting it on the wall it did take a few days to get it to run accurately but after a little trial and error with the pendulum I have managed to get it down to a few second a day.The bell has a nice sound and gives a single ring on the hour which is unobtrusive even at night.It has an eight day movement so providing you mount the clock high enough and it has a clear path to the floor you only have to pull the weight up once a weekOverall I think this clock is great value for money it looks and sounds fantastic and is always a talking point for visitors.

This clock is just lovely keeps brilliant time and it lovely hanging on the wall

Lovely looking clock easy to set up keeping good time love it 😃😃😃
