The best Hermle-quartz clock-movement-alternatives options
The best Hermle-quartz clock-movement-alternatives, or replacement are found in the list below. The list is in priority of the best replacement choice to the least. What this means is the closest to the old size, with the best sound quality has the best rating and is on top of the list. It also has the price in this order also, highest to lowest.
Hermle includes the following numbers
Hermle quartz clock movements are no longer available, so these are the alternative replacements. They usually decide to give up the ghost at daylight savings, or when there needs to be an adjustment in the time.
- 2215 (Westminster and Ave Maria pendulum units)
- 2115 (Westminster and Ave Maria non pendulum units)
- 2214 (Westminster and Bim Bam pendulum units)
- 2214 (Westminster and Bim Bam non pendulum units)
- 2216 (Westminster and Silent Night pendulum units)
- 2116 (Westminster and Silent Night non pendulum units)
- 2117 (Ships Bell strike, non pendulum)
Hermle quartz ships bell note
Note on the 2117 - Unfortunately, there are no quartz units on the market that will play the ship's bell strike. It is a tricky situation with these as there is no quartz replacement for this one. You can go with the mechanical movement if you do not mind spending about $500 and some time and patience. It will be a conversion process and has quite a bit of involvement. Please contact Clockworks if you would like to pursue this option.

Sir you must be good man .Thanks for Q, ansver Joe
I have a clock that has a hermle 2115 movement. I got a replacement, but it just doesn’t sound near as good as the hermle. What are my options for a good sounding replacement?
Hi,
This is the best sounding unit on the market if it will fit. Need new hands with it

Hello,
what machine can I use to replace the hermle quartz 2212 with a pendulum?
Thank You.
Same applies =
Hi
The 2215 pendulum units, and the 2115 non pendulum units are now obsolete and no longer made. Same with 2214 and 2114. There was some problematic issues with these units and they are now discontinued.
We do have a couple alternate units however.
1. QU30 pendulum or non pendulum unit. This one still plays two songs, has volume control, its made by Seiko instead of Hermle, and it can have a pendulum also.
2. QU40 pendulum or non pendulum unit. This one has four chime options and the sound quality is most equivalent to the Hermle units. It has the Westminster and Ava Maria options just like the 2215 / 2115 units.
Both of these units can be found at this link
https://clockworks.com/clock-movement/quartz-specialty-clock-movements.html
However the hand shaft (The shaft that the clock hands go onto) is measured differently than the Hermle units. Instead of a long nut that mounts the movement from the front dial side, these instead have a threaded post that will go through the dial from the back to the front of the dial.
You only need to determine the thickness of your clocks dial face material, and get a post length that is longer than that thickness.
Here is a chart to help you.
If you measure the Hermle quartz units hand shaft length in MM, these are the compatible post lengths that will fit your clock case and dial.
Hermle Hand Shaft Length // Replacement units post size needed
16mm = 5/16 inch post length
21mm = 9/16 inch post length
26mm = 3/4 inch post length
Another thing to mention is you need new hands also with your new clock movement. This is because the Hermle hands do not fit easy on these units. If you insist on using the Hermle hands, sometimes people are able to make them work by filing them some. The hands will be offered to you upon checking out on the website with the new unit.
One more thing to mention. The Hermle units are shaped in a unique way and the replacement units I am offering to you are not the same dimensional. Please be sure to notice the measurements of these units and check your clock case to be sure it will fit into it before ordering.

Dear Members
I have an old quartz clock from c. 1986. It was given as a gift when I left a particular job and I am very fond of it, but it stopped working some years ago. I have found that the quartz movement/mechanism is Hermle 977. However, I can’t source a replacement movement on the Web. Is it possible that anyone knows if an alternative movement would be available? The movement mechanism measures 4cm squared.
Hi,
Many people request a quartz movement that they want to replace and give the numbers off of the movement wanting to match it up with the exact same unit. This unfortunately is not how replacing a quartz movement goes, unless you are replacing a Hermle chiming movement. You can tell if your clock is a Hermle chiming movement because it will take two C cell batteries and it will have the numbers similar to 2215 or 2114. So if the clock is not made by Hermle and you still want to replace it then you would need to match the movement up by what functions the clock has instead of going by the numbers. There are so many different manufacturers of quartz movements and there are so many made, it is impossible for us to have a reference of them all.

I need a replacement clock movement for a Hermès 2212, are they still available? If not can you recommend an alternative, preferably with a better sounding chime, my daughter whose clock it is says that hers was very electronic sounding.
Thanks. Stuart

the minute and hour hands have stopped moving but the second hand still is working on my Shipstrike clock, Hermle 2117. Is there a way to fix this?
No longer made. Swapping the movement is the only solution. Your stuck sorry

I need a replacement for Hermle Quartz 2112 clock mechanism ( no chime hook up needed) that is in a Ridgeway Wood Mantle Clock. Can you help me? Haven Hood [email protected]
All the same rules apply for the 2112. The best one for that would be QU30 non pendulum unit with the post length needed. Also new hands needed.
