The distinctive Hermle St
Francis Grandfather Clock has a softly arched bonnet pediment with
delicate molding, and a shell with leaf motif overlay that will enhance any
room. Finished in warming Oak on select hardwoods and veneers, the Hermle
St Francis Grandfather Clock is an exquisite
timepiece and a wonderful German grandfather clock.
The Hermle St Francis Grandfather
Clock combines the grace of a
traditional grandfather clock with the functionality of a curio cabinet.
The St Francis Grandfather Clock combines a traditional
straight case but is flanked by petite curios on each corner. These two curios
feature beveled glass lockable waist doors and four polished edge glass shelves
that keep your precious heirlooms on display and out of harms way.
The polished brass-finished clock dial features an ornate,
gold tone center, a silver tone chapter ring and decorative corner spandrels. A
midnight blue moon phase accents the grandfather clock’s dial and hinged front
and side doors make accessing the movement easy. The luxuriously detailed
beveled glass door panel highlights the polished brass lyre pendulum and weight
shells.
The Hermle St Francis
Grandfather Clock features a classic cable driven clock movement, this 8-day,
key-wound German made brass chime movement will keep time accurately and
faithfully. Engineered in German, this solid brass grandfather clock movement
features bronze bushings and milled ratchet wheels for extra durability and long
movement life.
This triple chime movement plays the charming Westminster,
St Michaels and St Whittington Chimes --
the classic Westminster Chimes as
heard from London’s famous Big Ben clock
(click here to listen),
the St. Michaels Chime which hung in a church
steeple in Charleston, South Carolina in 1764 before being taken by the British
during the Revolutionary War
(click here to listen)
and Whittington Chimes that rang in the Church of St. Mary Le Bow in Cheapside,
London in the 16th Century
(click here to listen).
This Hermle Grandfather Clock’s movement also includes a
convenient automatic nighttime chime silence option and the clock’s door locks
for added security. This German engineered Hermle Clock Company grandfather
clock comes complete with a 3 year manufacturer’s warranty on the movement. |
