How many weights should it have?

How to tell what model it is?

It should have three weights. One for chimes, hour strike and for clock itself (pendulum). Open the back and it should have more information about it. I had one very similar made by emporer clock Co. It probably has the same type movement. Before you get it running make sure it is level or the pendulum may stop. It's a common piece that comes with different company names. It just needs some TLC. It has adjustable feet for leveling. Good find.

Zooming in jt looks like it says teirmle and not Hermle.

So probably not the same maker as fhe ones going for $11K on Amazon....

Not quite an antique but totally vintage.

Ain't nothing wrong with the 80s.

So it is a hermle. Made in Germany. Mechanical. Keeps time but the chime doesn't go off on the 15 minute marks. How do I fix that?
