Hermle Clocks Nearly one hundred years ago, Franz Hermle began manufacturing and selling mechanical clocks. In 1922, Franz Hermle founded the Franz Hermle Clock Company in Gosheim/Wuerttemberg, Germany. Hermle Clocks is one of the world's oldest clockmakers who built the first factory in Germany in 1922. Hermle Clocks are still manufacturing their own movements and parts.
Most German clocks are made from the wood of thelinden tree, a hardwood that grows in Europe. Some parts of the housing mayalso be made of walnut. Skilled wood workers purchase the linden and walnutwoods well in advance so the wood can be aged for two years.
