Troubleshooting
The clock stops running
Check if the clock has been fully wound and ensure the pendulum is swinging freely without hitting the casing.
The time is not accurate
Adjust the pendulum bob by moving it up to speed the clock up, or down to slow it down, then observe for 24 hours.
The hourly strike is incorrect
Gently move the minute hand to the 12 o'clock position to synchronize the chime count with the hour displayed on the dial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For setup, mount the clock securely to a load-bearing wall using appropriate hardware for your wall type. Ensure the clock is perfectly level to prevent the pendulum from catching or the gears from becoming unbalanced. To care for your Hermle clock, avoid placing it in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations or high humidity, as these can affect the tension of the springs and the oil lubrication. Dust the exterior gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. Mechanical movements should be serviced by a professional clockmaker every 3 to 5 years to ensure the gears remain clean and well-lubricated for smooth operation.
