Hermle RAVENSBURG Weight Driven Wall Clock 70974000711, Wrought Iron

The media could not be loaded. I've always wanted a mechanical clock since I was a child. I've looked at grandfather clocks on and off over my adult life but have never wanted to spend the money on one. I stumbled across this clock while I was looking for a new wall clock to put in my man cave and decided that if I was ever going to get a mechanical clock then this will be the one. I really like the look, feel and sound of it. It is very solid and except for the porcelain face is all metal. It did take me about a month of tinkering with it to get the time keeping very close to accurate. I got it to about 15 seconds a week slow which is close enough for me. The tick tock is fairly loud when compared to regular cheap wall clocks. At first the tick tock bothered me when I was watching movies or TV so I would stop the clock while watching TV. After a few months I don't even notice the tick tock anymore while watching TV so I don't stop it anymore. At first it was hard to see where the hands was on the clock from my chair but also after a few months I can now see where they are at. It is a very nice clock. It just takes some time to set and get used to.Update: After 5 years I have the clock so perfect on time that I only have to correct it about twice a year. It usually occurs in the start and end of winter so I wonder if it's due to the temperature affecting the clock. It runs all year long non stop. Definitely recommend.

The product is easy to assemble, especially if you have other mechanical clocks. Despite its small size, fasten it securely to the wall because the weight is heavy. The chime is melodic and soft, so it won"t keep you awake at night. Be aware that the clock chimes once on the hour regardless of what time it is.

I knocked down a star for the easiness of reading the time. I am used to a different clock face being on this wall. A very different face. This is definitely a more traditional clock face. It takes a little bit of getting used to but not because there was a design problem with this product. Would I buy it again? Absolutely! Let's hope that it's got some serious longevity though. Everything about it was great. It was well packaged. The chain was zip tied in different spots. I felt like I received an investment. There were a few pieces to put together but I had it done in 3 to 5 minutes. I would buy this for someone else also.Someone else said that the ticking was loud. I really don't have anything to compare it to, but I also expected it to tick. If you don't want to hear the clock in the room that you're going to put it in, don't buy this one. At the same time it's also one of the joys of a mechanical clock like this. To each their own.I was also happy to see the documentation that came with it. It's advertised as being made in Germany. The instructions are written in German and English, which was a pretty good sign for me. Interestingly enough, English was the second language in the instructions. It also comes with a certificate from the manufacturer written in German, primarily. I'd say that's pretty legit. Exactly what I want to see with a mechanical clock purchased from a German manufacturer.

This is a great purchase for the price and quality,keeps good time once adjusted,hard to find a reasonably priced mechanical clock anymore,clock is small width wise ,but must mount high to get the full days of running once the chain is pulled and winds down. Was exactly what I was looking for and I am very pleased with its purchase,just wish I could afford a big grandfather clock too.

As everyone has said it’s small. Forget getting the tape measure out trying to get an idea of what it’s going to look like in that space you’re looking to hang it. Just keep repeating, it’s small.It’s running great strait from the box. Setting it up was a breeze as most people have said.Disappointed in the sounds it makes. One person said they had to stop the clock while watching TV because the ticking was so loud. No need for that, I’ve found that the tickings not loud at all. In fact I’ve found that if you have anything at all turned on or running, A/C, TV, even the fridge or ice maker, you can’t hear it at all. But if you can catch that moment where everything’s off, and you get dead quiet in the room, you can hear it.And the chime is very subtle, to the point if you are doing anything and not paying attention, or have the same quiet in the room as with the ticking, you’ll probably miss it all together.Despite those things I’m keeping it. Because it does everything it says it will do. It’s keeping good time. It’s a manual clock so it does tick, and it chimes as it’s supposed to at the top of the hour.

Easy to set and use. will last lift time
