A version of 1930s Sound of Time. I love the steady ticking of this small and unique time machine. It reminds me of a diesel engine.

My first mechanical clock was a 1976 Hamilton Bracket style mantel clock with a German made Hermle Spring Wound floating balance type 340-020 movement. It works but needs an overhaul.

My 2nd and larger Bracket style was a 1986 Howard Miller with Spring Wound, new style balance, model 1050-020 Hermle movement.

My 3rd Hermle is ticking away in a Beautiful Howard Miller Jennison Wall Clock featuring a model 1051-030 45cm pendulum drop. This Wall Clock is a 1995, and keeps time accurately to about 1/2 minute in 3 -4 weeks. It has never been overhauled, all original. 1995 was the year Howard Miller died.

For 2 hours I waxed the entire case with Howards Feed-n-Wax, then cleaned the glass.

Completed the rebuild and installation about a week ago. I am currently adjusting the Geneva stopworks which regulate how far you can wind the weights without damage. But here’s a video of the Grandfather Clock, finally completed. I am having a name plate engraved that I will install soon.
