German Engineering in a Natural Walnut Case
A Hermle table clock in a walnut wood finish, made to lift any desk or living space with quiet elegance. A natural wood case, hand-finished, with clear front glass and a legible dial.
Inside it, a high-precision German mechanical movement — engineering built in Gosheim since 1922, with no electricity and no electronics.
A classic design that follows no trend, and the warmth of natural walnut that only deepens with the years.

Who Is It For?
A luxury table clock for someone who prefers natural wood to metal, and the classic to the bold. At a measured size (approx. 25 × 18 × 10 cm) it finds its place on an executive desk, a library shelf or a console.
And the warmth of walnut lets it sit with wooden furniture rather than against it — a difference that matters in a room already dressed in wood.

Care Instructions
- Wind the movement at the interval stated for the model, always at the same time of day.
- Move the hands forward only, pausing at every chime or strike until it completes.
- Dust the case with a soft, dry cloth; use a wood-appropriate polish on wooden cases only.
- Clean the glass with a cloth lightly dampened with glass cleaner — never spray directly onto the clock.
- Keep away from radiators, direct sunlight, and humidity, and have the movement serviced by a specialist every few years.

A gift that marks time itself — fitting for weddings, retirements, corporate anniversaries, and the handing over of an office or a home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it run on electricity or a battery?
No. The movement is entirely mechanical.
How does a mechanical clock work?
With no electricity and no battery — a metal mainspring that you tension by hand when winding. The spring stores that energy and releases it slowly and precisely through a train of wheels, which is what keeps the hands moving at an even rate. It is the same principle clocks have run on for centuries.
Does it need servicing?
Yes, like any precision mechanical movement — a specialist clockmaker should inspect and oil it every few years. That is what keeps it running for decades.
How large is it?
Approximately 25 × 18 × 10 cm — compact enough for a desk, a shelf or a console.
How does it differ from the black version?
Same size, same construction. The difference is material and character: this one has a hand-finished natural wood case in walnut, with a classic warmth that sits well alongside wooden furniture; the black version has a polished black finish and a simpler, more contemporary feel. Choose walnut for classic warmth, black for quiet modernity.
About Hermle
Franz Hermle & Sohn was founded in 1922 in Gosheim, in Germany's clockmaking heartland near the Black Forest. Within a decade it had become one of the most advanced makers of clock movements in Europe, and it remains among the world's largest manufacturers of mechanical movements. Now in its third generation, Hermle builds every movement in Germany and supplies clockmakers across the globe.
