How it is made
It is a tall, narrow wall clock with a small drawer at the bottom. The case is solid American tulipwood and carries plenty of genuine pre-composed burl by the Alpi company, on the drawer too.
The finish is a semi-gloss medium walnut. The door has blown glass and hangs on a continuous hinge. Four spacers at the corners keep the case from marking the wall.
The movement is by the German firm Hermle, making clocks in the Black Forest since 1920. At the half hour it gives one stroke; on the hour it strikes the hours on a large spiral gong made specially for our oversized wall clocks, with a soft, light sound. It is wound once a week with the crank in the two dial holes: the cable winds back and the weight rises. If you would rather not hear the strike, wind only the right-hand pulley. Below the lyre pendulum sits a large ceramic pendulum scale.
