this one ain't no Chelsea, but for 35 bucks I couldn't pass it up.
I have my doubts that "Hoffritz" is really even a manufacturer?
the movement is a Hermle 132-071 with pallet escapement. looks like the date is 1981. I bought it not working, no key, and broken glass. I pulled the movement out and oiled it. I removed the escapement and looked it over. I put it all back together and nothing. I moved the hands around a little and BAM! there was a little click and the clock started working! what the heck? I guess a gear was jammed up somehow. anyway, it is also ticking away. it seems to run slow and no matter what hour the clock in on, it strikes 2 on the hour. I adjusted the fast slow/lever to full fast, but it still seems to lose time pretty quickly. also, as I mentioned above, the glass in the face is broken out. I thought it would be an easy fix, but the door is crimped together. maybe I can find a parts clock to steal the face from? this one will go into our vacation/Airbnb house as a decoration. if someone swipes it, I won't be out much of anything.
