the clock combines warm wood with dark hammered metal, creating a distinctive wall piece with a refined rustic character.

the rectangular oak backboard forms the base of the design, framed by twisted iron columns and scrollwork details that give the clock a strong handcrafted character. The dial features roman numerals on a brushed metal chapter ring with decorative markings between the numerals, while the center reveals the warm tone of the wood behind it. The forged metal bezel surrounding the dial echoes the hammered texture of the surrounding frame elements. Below the dial, two cast iron weights and a pendulum hang from chains, forming a balanced vertical composition.

the clock functions properly and chimes on the half hour and hour (3 gong bar). Both the front and the movement are signed by hermle (franz hermle & sohn), a german clock manufacturer known for its expertly crafted mechanical clocks and consistent quality.
