Hermle Clock Movement – 351-030A – Westminster Chime – 43 cm Pendulum – Spring Driven – Used – Excellent Condition
Main description:
This Hermle 351-030A mechanical clock movement is a Westminster chime, spring-driven unit in used but excellent condition. It’s very clean with no visible corrosion, and all three spring barrels appear strong and fully intact. Stamped Welsby Division – Elgin Watch Co., this movement reflects a period when Hermle produced movements for U.S. distribution under Elgin branding, adding collectible and historical appeal.
Designed for wall and mantel clocks, this movement is configured for a 43 cm (17″) pendulum length, making it compatible with many traditional case sizes. It’s an ideal candidate for restoration, replacement, or as a donor movement for other Hermle-compatible clocks.
The only missing part is the pendulum leader. A replacement is inexpensive and widely available, typically costing $10–$15. With that small addition, this well-preserved movement can be returned to full functionality.
