AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A very solid and atmospheric mechanical wall clock, also known as a station clock or school clock.
The clock is fitted with a robust, octagonal oak rear cabinet and at the front a nicely profiled round oak frame.
The bright white/creamy dial has clean, large black Arabic numerals, a clear minute ring and classic black hands. Behind the dial lies a high-quality mechanical movement from the renowned German maker Franz Hermle & Söhne (FHS) with movement number 140-070.
The clock has one winding hole for the mainspring and is supplied including the accompanying winding key.
On the back is the original shop sticker from the well-known Haarlem clock shop "de Tijdmeter - Wagenweg 88 Haarlem".
Condition:
In excellent, working and original condition.
The oak case has a beautiful deep wood grain and shows only minimal signs of aging.
The brass rim shines nicely and the dial is exceptionally clean and undamaged.
Very important for the auction: the movement has been tested, runs well and the original winding key is present.
The back is also equipped with rubber wall protectors and a sturdy hanging eye.
Dimensions:
Height/diameter of the case: 40 cm.
Depth: 14 cm
Weight: 4.1 kg.
