Condition: Used
Manufacturer: Herschede Hall Clock Company
Here is a very rare Herschede clock with a most unusual feature. The balance wheel time keeping mechanism is very silent. When the alarm activates, it is a strong bell ringing that is constant until the top brass button is depressed.
The clock itself appears to be from the late 1940's or early 50's.

The clock movement has been serviced and it keeps very accurate time and all functions work as they should. It is a one-day windup clock (30 hour clock).
The dial is wonderful in black as shown in the photos. There is a separate dial for the second hand and a dial for the alarm setting function. Herschede called this clock the SILENT-TIC as it contains a special design in the clock movement to silence the tic-toc sound and it is barely audible.
It is not often I get to see this Silent-Tic alarm clock from Herschede (a German clock manufacturer who is long out of business back in the 50's). So help yourself to this beauty and enjoy.
There are a few paint chips and brass discolorations here and there on the clock but it is most acceptable when considering its age. What a great collector clock this is with all its uniqueness of operation and style. The clock is signed on the rear cover and at the bottom of the front dial with the words MADE IN GERMANY.
This small clock measures 4.25inches tall by 6.5 inches wide and 2.25 inches deep. |
