The production of Hermle clocks entails a high degree of labour and as such are not mass produced, therefore product delivery times can vary between approximately 1 - 6 weeks for the majority of the range with approximately 8 weeks delivery for floor standing Hermle clocks. We will confirm expected delivery times on Hermle clocks as soon as confirmation is received from the manufacturers. Clocks manufactured by Oregon Scientific, Ferrari and Starck will usually be dispatched within 7-10 business days. All clocks are offered subject to availability.

Because of the size of the Hermle floor standing long-case clocks and the set-up requirements they will be delivered by a skilled technician who will set the clock up and offer our customers full information on how to operate and maintain the clock. Our recommendation is that long-case movements are serviced every 4 to 5 years. We will offer all customers the opportunity to have their floor clocks serviced if required at an additional charge.
