How it is made
The case is solid American tulipwood with Tanganyika details, finished in a semi-gloss medium walnut. The glass is blown, on the sides too, and lets the light in. 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 with a soft, light sound. It is wound once a week with the crank in the two dial holes. If you would rather not hear the strike, wind only the right-hand pulley.
The round, domed dial has a double brass ring and black Roman numerals on white. Below the lyre pendulum sits a large ceramic pendulum scale.
