Question
I need to replace the pendulum for this clock (the middle rod that holds the bob was bent and then broke off).  The back plate says 451-050H  94cm but I don't know what part
to order...or from whom.
Thanks,  Rick Fuller

Answer
You are looking for a Hermle pendulum. The 94cm is the pendulum drop. This means that the distance from the top of the suspension spring to the center of gravity will be 94 centimeters.
Black Forest Imports sells Hermle pendulums. Their website is:
