A very solid and atmospheric mechanical wall clock, also known as a station clock or school clock.

The bright white/creamy dial has clean, large black Arabic numerals, a clear minute ring and classic black hands. Behind the dial lies a high-quality mechanical movement from the renowned German maker Franz Hermle & Söhne (FHS) with movement number 140-070. The clock has one winding hole for the mainspring and is supplied including the accompanying winding key. On the back is the original shop sticker from the well-known Haarlem clock shop "de Tijdmeter - Wagenweg 88 Haarlem". Condition: In excellent, working and original condition. The oak case has a beautiful deep wood grain and shows only minimal signs of aging. The brass rim shines nicely and the dial is exceptionally clean and undamaged.
