Vintage Sligh Trend Mantel Clock with A Franz Hermle Movement Made In Germany
This is a vintage Sligh Trend mantel clock with a Franz Hermle movement, dating 1970s -1980s. The phrase "Tempus Fugit" on the dial is Latin for "time flies" and is a common motto, not a brand name! Movement: This piece features a mechanical key wound movement, likely an 8-day model with Westminster chimes, indicated by the three winding holes on the clock face. The movement is likely made by Franz Hermle & Sohn (FHS) in Germany. Features: The clock has a wooden case, possibly mahogany or walnut, with fluted columns and decorative gold-toned accents. The dial features Roman numerals and a decorative plate above the 12 o'clock position where a moon phase would typically be found on higher-end clocks. This vintage clock has markings on the back of different years of service as the clock still works beautifully and keep time. Just a gorgeous piece of history!
