Hermle Clock History Summary
The story of Hermle began in 1922 in Gosheim, Germany, when clock-maker Franz Hermle established the Franz Hermle Clock Company, which quickly became a leader in the efficient manufacture of high-quality clock movements and finished timepieces. By the early 1930s, Hermle was widely recognized for modern and precise mechanical mechanisms, and after World War II the company continued prospering as a family-run business under Hermle and his sons, expanding into clock accessories and quartz movements as the industry evolved.

Caring for a Hermle Clock
Proper care for a Hermle clock begins with stable placement away from temperature extremes and humidity, regular winding, and avoiding sudden jolts or movement of the clock.
