Franz Hermle & Sons…..

“Nearly one hundred years ago, Franz Hermle began manufacturing and selling mechanical clocks.

In 1922, Franz Hermle founded the Franz Hermle Clock Company in Gosheim/Wuerttemberg, Germany.

Within ten years the company became known as one of the most modern and efficient manufacturers of

clock movements in the clock industry. Franz Hermle and his sons’ dedication weathered the effects of

WWII and made Franz Hermle und Sohn Uhrenfabrik prosper while other companies folded.

The founder, Franz Hermle, died in 1953 and left a modern and prosperous operation to his sons

Gebhard, Alfred, Hans and Heinrich Hermle. Now in its third generation, Franz Hermle und Sohn

employs over 500 people in 4 locations in Germany and an additional manufacturing facility,

Hermle Black Forest Clocks, in Amherst, Virginia, USA. Today, the company is a worldwide leader

in the manufacturing of clocks, and mechanical clock movements.

The trademark is the word Hermle in script or simply FHS stamped on the works.”

Condition very good throughout.
