Question
I inherited a Hermle mantle clock but did not get any instructions on how to wind or maintain it.  It has 3 places on the clock face where the key fits.  On the inside of the door are the numbers 968/2.  There aren't any other identifying numbers on the mechanical parts.  It does say Germany Seven (7) Jewels Unadjusted.  Any help you can give me would be appreciated.  I can send a picture if that would help.  Al

Answer
all Hermle meovements I have seen in 36 years have info stamped on the back plate of the mechanism itself. wind all three fully with the key- no maintenace.
