Question
I received via inheritance a small mantle clock.  It has a lunar dial(?) and the markings inside on the mechanism are:
69
W Haid
Two 121 Jewels
Made in West Germany
Unadjusted
130-080
Can you help me identify the clock?  Thank you Very much! Nancy

Answer
round movement strikes on two bells above made in 1969 by the Hermle Co in Germany for
W. Haid who made the case

the two(2) jewels are in either end of the balance wheel that does the ticking

lunar dial indexes one click per day and is set with a finger tip, rotating so the picture of the moon looks like the view you see at night when you set it
