Expert: Martin Meyer - 3/20/2008


Question
I have a hermle 1161-853 94cm movement in my clock, can this be interchanged with the hermle 1161-853SA 94cm from the Black Forest movement.  Can i use the same pendulum and weights?  Both are cable driven.
Thanks

Answer
Hi James,
    I don't know of any Hermle movement with the number 1161-853SA. You may have a Hermle 1161-853AS. This movement will interchange with your 1161-853. As long as both movements are 94 cm, the weights and pendulum will be correct for the new movement.
