A skeleton movement standing under a tall conical glass dome, its brass wheels and escapement fully exposed and the numerals printed onto the glass itself rather than a dial. The base is polished mahogany. Made in Germany by Hermle, whose movements have been built in the Black Forest region since 1922.

- 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.

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.
