2pc German Anniversary Dome Clocks — Hermle & Junghans Quartz Gold and Brass Tone On the left, the Hermle. Gold face, Roman numerals wearing little crowns like a judge's opinion wearing Latin. Its four brass balls rotate — not quickly, not nervously like our time — but deliberately, once every so often, as if it has all the time in the world and knows it. red flower as if someone in Schramberg decided even precision needs a little romance. Same torsion pendulum, same glass dome, same quiet ambition to measure a year without being wound. Both are quartz now — the old mechanical 400-day movement replaced by German practicality — which means they actually work. No temperamental mainspring, no leveling ritual with a spirit level at midnight. Put in a battery and they go. For a year. $99 for the pair — the counselors together — or $60 each if you must separate them, though they seem to like each other's company.
