I posted this one when I first picked it up back in July. Came in parts and the automatic works was put together wrong. I learned a lot on this family of movements and really am happy with the outcome as well as the journey. First I will post how it arrived, the for now final, the parts I sourced for replacement,  and the latest disassembly for service in case it helps someone else. I had to match every part to the tech sheet and found only 1 missing screw, but the calendar and date rings were toast on arrival. They were good for practice during assembly because they only had the paint removed and I separated the hour wheel from the day ring so that I could work on the calendar and day advancements and see the bridges on the dial side.DSCN54184.thumb.JPG.b07c36af059d514914f5105079910706.JPGDSCN54194.thumb.JPG.b134264a07778c74798686cc3a9cbfc6.JPGDSCN54822.thumb.JPG.7a43d850bfbd557ec69a2264edaff6ec.JPG20231023_1906222.thumb.jpg.ece7ee9a2434957ae0d0a04538fcbe2c.jpg20231023_1908312.thumb.jpg.4caeb80fd5d5c7715a7b9809b3733de8.jpg20231023_1906592.thumb.jpg.e0c68f5973b50dc942b650df6b5a4a12.jpg

The original bracelet is a little different with a single link style and needs a little adjustment to get the end covers to lay flat.

The watch has been going for about 22 hours with more than 14 hours on the wrist. I am never sure when a full wind is reached on these that have a manual wind function as well. The watch has gained a bit over that time and the timegrapher numbers are pretty decent with not much delta on the horizontal for either the beat error or the Amp. On the vertical 2 of the 4 had good numbers and deltas on the Amp and beat error but the other two are off a bit.20231023_1603072.thumb.jpg.bfa884119c1df9f6dce3aa25949b4682.jpg20231023_160632.thumb.jpg.90986a411a2aeb6171fbf1a5d2df642a.jpg20231023_1611582.thumb.jpg.7b3e7be36846b0fb8183e0c19eb8e58b.jpg20231023_1610252.thumb.jpg.904e699628200034732a804cb6a42280.jpg20231023_1615542.thumb.jpg.248298e2366735860aacc3ab9af8fbea.jpg20231023_1613222.thumb.jpg.98fdebdd60e6258ab82305b14e5de352.jpg

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi Mike I did a ships clock a long while ago, not a Hermle though and without getting the beast in my hands to refresh my memory I can’t recall the timing.  This doesn’t help I know but will start the grey matter turning.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By Rixy · Posted

      I have stripped and cleaned a Hermle ships clock. It was just oily, no major faults, and I reassembled it, following my photos in reverse order. The time train is fine but the strike train will not play the ships bell strike for half-past. Ships bells play a four hour sequence for the 'watches' and play double 'ding' for the hour and the double dings plus one for the half past (eg half past the second hour is 'ding-ding' 'ding-ding' 'ding'). Sounds complicated but it isn't really. The strike wheel consists of pairs of bumps (for the ding-ding) and no single bumps. There must me some mechanism on the half-past that lifts the strike lever over one of the bumps so only one ding is played. When I get to a half past, it still plays double ding. I have a feeling it is to do with the lever in front of the rack (there is a sprung attachment  on it) and the position of the wheel (to the right) with the two pins that lets that lever fall, but no matter where I place that wheel I cannot get a single ding at half past! Please can someone help with advice on positioning so I can fix this? BTW Happy Easter 🐣
