BRAND-NEW GERMAN HERMLE MOVEMENT – JUST INSTALLED – MUST HEAR. This antique Seth Thomas wall clock has been professionally upgraded with a brand-new German-made Hermle mechanical movement, newly installed and fully tested. The clock is running perfectly, keeping accurate time and delivering a clean, confident bim-bam strike. The original antique case has been carefully preserved and thoughtfully paired with a modern precision movement for long-term reliability and daily enjoyment-a rare and highly desirable combination. ? Chime Demonstration Video (Highly Recommended). Must hear to fully appreciate the tone and character. This striking octagonal Seth Thomas wall clock exemplifies classic American clockmaking, featuring a richly aged hardwood case, elegant Roman-numeral dial, and a warm three-rod bim-bam strike that sounds the hour with clarity and restraint. To eliminate the maintenance concerns typically associated with century-old movements, the original mechanism has been professionally replaced with a brand-new German mechanical movement, making this clock as dependable as it is beautiful. An ideal choice for collectors, designers, or anyone seeking an authentic antique wall clock that is ready to hang, reliable, and worry-free. Movement & Chime. Movement: Brand-new Hermle 131-030 German mechanical movement (just installed). Strike Type: 3-rod bim-bam hour strike on resonant steel rods. Wind: Mechanical, key-wound. Chime Character: Warm, dignified, and far more restrained than Westminster. Accuracy: Excellent – modern tolerances with traditional mechanical charm. This new movement provides smooth operation, strong strike action, and many years of dependable service with routine care. Case & Dial. Classic octagonal wooden case with beautifully aged original finish. Ornately carved lower door with floral motifs. Seth Thomas signed Roman-numeral dial (original style). Glass bezel and lower pendulum window. Well-balanced proportions suitable for traditional, transitional, or historic interiors. The clock presents exceptionally well and has the visual presence expected of a high-quality Seth Thomas wall clock. Brand-new German movement professionally installed. Fully tested and working perfectly. Case in very attractive antique condition with light, age-appropriate wear. Dial clean, legible, and highly decorative. Pendulum and strike functioning exactly as intended. This clock has been carefully prepared and tested to arrive ready to enjoy immediately. Height: 24 inches. Width: 14 inches. Depth: 5 inches. Perfect scale for living rooms, studies, libraries, offices, or hallways. Why This Clock Stands Out. Authentic antique Seth Thomas wall clock. Brand-new German mechanical movement. Bim-bam strike – elegant, unobtrusive, and refined. Excellent craftsmanship and visual balance. No immediate servicing required. This is not a project clock or lightly serviced example – it is a turn-key antique wall clock, built to be enjoyed daily. Professionally packed to ensure safe transit. Setup instructions included. Mechanical clocks benefit from periodic oiling every few years. Clocks like this are increasingly difficult to find: a genuine antique Seth Thomas case paired with a brand-new, high-quality German mechanical movement.

The Sonora chime line of Seth Thomas clocks are some of the most complex and beautiful sounding clocks the company ever produced. The time keeping mechanism has a few lifter arms that tell the chiming mechanism when to activate the quarter chimes and the hour strike. When working properly, they sound incredible. Offered here is a Seth Thomas Sonora chime mantle clock. I did a lot of research, and the closest I could narrow down the manufacturing date is 1914 – 1921. As I said, I know nothing about clocks, but similar images elsewhere on the web say that S. Eth Thomas clocks with this particular inlaid design in a beehive case are often referred to as Model 64 or 264. Antiqueclockspriceguide says a clock identical to the one offered here (right down to the chime movement model and rods) is Model 64-A. I don’t know the correct model number – just providing you with the info I found. When working, this clock plays a chime melody on 4 steel rods. Late in their Sonora production, Seth Thomas changed over from bells to rods to compete with less expensive imports. This clock still has the sturdy separate chime movement Model No. 119 manufactured by Mayland. This clock has winding at 3 o’clock. When I found this clock, I opened the back and discovered a bubble wrapped bag with a bunch of bits and pieces that the former owner clearly wanted to keep with the clock. I’ve identified some of those pieces as the pendulum and the key. Sections of broken spring from the time keeping mechanism. And while all 4 chime rods are present, two have been detached from the block. I don’t know if there is anything else wrong with the innards other than that. As for the case, it is mahogany wood with satinwood inlay. The finish has extensive alligatoring, but there are only a few very shallow surface scratches. If you find your joy in rescuing and restoring antique clocks, I hope you’ve just found your next Labor of Love in this piece. But please be aware that with this clock’s issues, it may not be reparable because spare parts are very hard to come by, and you might only be able to use it for its parts. This is a weighty piece of history! That way, you can select the carrier that is cheapest or fastest for you, depending on your priorities. Please examine the photos and description carefully, and ask questions if you are unsure.
