The fusion of grace and unconditional quality
The Masterpiece 2026, limited and numbered to a total of 25 pieces, is the latest precision pendulum clock from Hermle. At the heart of this monthly clock is the W7761-800114 movement, which achieves exceptional precision thanks to its very high quality workmanship and the use of first-class materials. The integrated, hand-painted moon phase with its own gear train, which is in constant motion, stands out from conventional step-shift moon phases by achieving an accuracy of one day's deviation within 100 years. The appearance of the Masterpiece is characterized by an openworked dial that provides a glimpse of the precise Graham escapement consisting of high-quality ruby pallets and a gold-plated escape wheel. Together with a temperature-compensated pendulum disc weighing over 4 kg, a hand-polished Invar pendulum rod, and a Huygenic runner for the smallest adjustments, this precision pendulum mechanism achieves an accuracy of 1-5 seconds per month, depending on the location! Thanks to its very high material density in combination with a deflection roller, the tungsten weight manages to achieve a balance between a modern, minimalist appearance and the necessary driving force of 2 kg for a running time of 31 days. The special design of the case, which uses a frameless glass door, creates the ideal conditions for a clear and unobstructed view of the impressive mechanics without any distracting reflections. In addition, the two-layer dial fascinates with its remarkable depth effect (3-dimensionality), contemporary hands, and artistically guilloché, hand-painted moon disc. The winding key and other useful accessories are stored separately from the case in a high-quality wooden box.
