Hermle Brass and Glass Anniversary-Style Mantel Clock

This is a contemporary anniversary-style mantel clock manufactured by the renowned German clockmaker Hermle. The clock features a polished brass-finished hexagonal base and a matching flat top plate surmounted by an ornate brass carrying handle. The architectural frame is enclosed by clear glass panels on the front and sides, with a mirrored rear panel to enhance the visual depth of the internal movement. The dial is silver-toned with an ornate gold-etched center, black Roman numerals, and elegant spade-shaped hands. It is clearly marked 'Hermle' and 'Quartz', with 'Made in Germany' visible at the bottom. Below the dial is a four-ball rotating pendulum with faceted clear glass or acrylic spheres, supported by two vertical fluted brass pillars. The overall construction displays the clean lines and precision typical of late 20th-century German horology. The condition appears to be very good with minor age-related oxidation and surface tarnish on the brass base and top. There are no visible cracks in the glass panels. A small pink glass bird figurine is currently resting on the top of the case but is not part of the original design.
