[wghanson]

@TheSophera here is one

[pennyf9]

where is the pendulum? never saw this kind before.

[Kettierek]

@pennyf9

This clock does not have the swinging pendulum you are looking for. It uses a 'Floating Balance', which is similar to the rotating flywheel you see in ordinary clocks. (see the little moving thingy at the top edge of the video - that is part of it)

[Kettierek]

Sorry, I'm not a clock supplier but merely an clock enthusiast!

[tonihc19]

good Franz and Hermle

[Mubarak635]

I know that sound! I keep hearing it every hour. I think the music is coming from inside our wall! LOL

[DrClay999]

My mother has a grandfather clock, the kind that hangs on your wall, that has this as its chime. It's always been one of my favorite clocks.

9am

[6bettyboo9]

9 oclock and all is well!

[JamieinMN]

00:28

[JamieinMN]

in my opinion, the chime sounds better on this clock than the actual big ben. a soothing sound for sure.

[JamieinMN]

I would love to have something like this.

[pennyf9]

what are the notes for the westminster chime?

[maigemu]

I prefer it on Big Ben, the original.

[drg222]

yes it is for sale

[Kettierek]

@drg222 Please remove your comment from my posting - it has nothing to do with my Westminster clock!

[westminstercouncil]

Beautiful sound

[Kettierek]

I appreciate a positive comment from such a distinguished Council.

Thank you - Kettierek

[Giblinono]

@urAHypocryt I have slept under the one in my grandfathers house for a week and it never once bothered me. chimes every 15 min if you didn't know.

[urAHypocryt]

[thefroghunter20]

@Giblinono I slept under three of them clocks in my Mom & Dad's house for almost 3 years and they never once bothered me. also chimes every 15 min. if you didn't know.

[jerdoe]

[DennyAlbert]

[TPIR2008]

[holeinone2121]

[samanli1]

the chimes sound AFTER the hammers hit them

[donkiedoos]

This is just a quirk of the digital camera I took the video with. In real life evrytthing is perfect.

[HaugMediaStudios]

@donkiedoos

Just wanted to point out : "In real life everything is perfect"

;)

[msaxmatt3]

yer, it is a 340-020 w/ platform escapement. beautiful sound!

[thefroghunter20]

No it's not!! It has the balance escapement, NOT platform escapement!!!

[Kettierek]

Wrong!

It has a platform escapement. Pierre

[thefroghunter20]

YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!! It does NOT have a platform escapement, it has a BALANCE escapement!!!!

[Kettierek]

No need to shout. Yes, I am wrong, but your statement is only partially correct - it is, in fact, a Floating Balance.

[msaxmatt3]

has balance wheel. correct?

[donkiedoos]

Yes, a floating balance.

[bagpiper2005]

Does the movement have the number on it? Like 340-020 or something?

[donkiedoos]

This is a standard Hermle movement 340-020,but stamped "Bulova".

[bagpiper2005]

Beautiful resonance from this high-quality German movement.

[clockradioman1]

nice movement in this clock working good excellent chimes
