Ship's clock with a glass frame

There are certainly many reasons why Hermle remains the only remaining manufacturer of large clocks in Germany. For some, it is our extensive experience – after all, we have been dealing with mechanical clocks for nearly 102 years. For others, it is our high standards of timeless beauty, maximum precision, and craftsmanship in the finest details.

The most beautiful way to measure time

We do not reinvent time with our large clocks, but we give them an exclusive, beautifully designed aesthetic. Whether mechanical or quartz, classic or modern, Mediterranean or rustic – Hermle clocks fit any interior and lifestyle. Their unique combination of maximum precision and refined design makes them timeless classics that will withstand any trend.

The Hermle family business has its roots in Gosheim in the Swabian Jura. The headquarters is located in nearby Reichenbach. This region was once a center of German clockmaking industry and is still known for its spirit of inventiveness and hard work.

The traditional precision company sells high-quality grandfather clocks, wall clocks, mantel clocks, ship clocks, and regulators. Additionally, Hermle has been specializing in the production of high-quality turning parts for over 50 years – this is a major advantage, as almost all individual components of clock mechanisms are produced in the company's own turning shop. All products are highly popular worldwide and are regarded as excellent examples of German watchmaking quality.

Hermle combines centuries-old craftsmanship with modern manufacturing methods and is renowned for its pursuit of building the most accurate and elegant clocks. “Made in Germany” is not just a slogan at Hermle, but a conviction practiced for decades. While classic grandfather clocks represent a lifestyle from bygone eras, designer grandfather clocks are a testament to creativity, purity, and innovation. Hermle mantel clocks are distinctive decorative pieces with beautiful shapes, and regulators impress with bold lines and absolute technical perfection.

Complex, high-quality precision clocks from Hermle are aesthetic and technical masterpieces – and perhaps the most beautiful way to forget about time.
