Our clockworks are manufactured by Hermle Black Forest Clock Company. Hermle is a German company that has been engineering clock movements since 1922.  Any high quality grandfather clock you may find today, is likely to have a Hermle movement.  Hermle has remained the top producer because of its consideration to quality parts and design. When buying a clock from London Clocks, you can be reassured by the knowledge, that our grandfather clocks are supplied using these fine quality Hermle movements.

The Nine Belle Tube movement is a top of the line rod striking movement made by Hermle. The movement is bigger and the plates are thicker than all the other available movements.

This particular movement has an eight-day cable-wind weight-driven feature that plays three separate cathedral chimes: Westminster, Wittington, and St. Michael.

The clockworks offer a maintaining power train. When you wind your clock, the power that runs the time is not interrupted during the winding process. The movement has a synchronized time setting capability. You can adjust the time setting function by moving the hour hand to the correct time.

The chimes are played on nine seamless brass tubes that provide a distinctive sound. The tubes project a majestic appearance.

The clock movement has an automatic night off feature, and overwind protection. The clock chimes cease playing at 11:00pm and automatically resume at 7:00am. The clock movement has a lever that appears on the dial, which allows you to turn the chimes off completely.

The movement has a moving moon phase capability. This means when the moon is full in the sky, the moon will be shown as full on the dial of your clock.

The Nine Bell Tubular Chime Movement is the top of the line.
