Mantel clock - Hermle - Brass - 1950-1960

Vintage mechanical desk clock from the historic German manufacturer Hermle, dating from the 1950s/60s (Mid-Century Modern style), with an elegant glossy black dial and a gold-tone band featuring Roman numerals alternating with the twelve zodiac signs inscribed. The clock is complete with its original back cover and the fixed winding key with fins, showing the usual signs of wear and light surface oxidation on the back, clearly visible in the photos. The movement is alive and ticking (as can be seen from the balance wheel photographed in motion while it ticks regularly); however, being an antique mechanism not recently serviced, it sometimes tends to stop and certainly needs a routine cleaning and lubrication by a watchmaker or enthusiast to operate continuously. I am selling as a private individual in the conditions visible in the photos: I opened the back cover solely to photograph the brass gears so that enthusiasts can directly assess the originality and state of the mechanism. For exact dimensions and all aesthetic details, refer to the photographs, which are an integral part of the description.
