While most of the American clock companies mark their roots to the early 1800’s, the Hermle Company is a unique success story from the twentieth century. The company was established in 1922, shortly after Germany started recovering from the World War I, as the Franz Hermle Clock Company in the town of Gosheim near the Wuerttemberg, Germany.

Amazingly, this was the time when the global economy was dropping badly and American clock companies were struggling for their existence, the new German company flourished. By the early 1930’s, the Hermle clock company was a pioneer in the production of quality clock movements. While the competitor clock companies were using traditional, nineteenth century methods, Franz Hermle had an eye for competence and used the latest, highly advanced techniques for manufacturing the clock movements.

Hermle is a leading manufacturer that sells directly to the wholesale industry and operates in over 80 countries with offices in Germany and, as Hermle Black Forest Clocks, in the United States. Besides a pioneer in the manufacture of movements and clocks, Franz Hermle and Sohn is a foremost supplier of pendulums and clock dials. The company also manufactures decorative weight shells for the modern weight-driven clocks, mainly for the grandfather clocks.
