Its a hermle wind up mantle clock, from the 1980s. It is not keeping the time right and is far the slow. IT HAS NO PENDULUM, it has a spinning thing instead
Its a hermle wind up mantle clock, from the 1980s. It is not keeping the time right and is far the slow. IT HAS NO PENDULUM, it has a spinning thing instead. It hass only been used a few times and my child used to play with the spring
My guess is that it has gotten dusty inside the mechanism. I really wouldn’t try to fix it yourself, I would take it to a repair shop. Just look up "clocks" in the yellow pages and you should find a couple shops.

Absolutely every souvenir store is full of them. Anywhere around Marienplatz.
In the Great Gatsby, what does the mantle clock represent?
Sunday, January 31st, 2010I read it for a class and now I have to write a research paper on it and it requires me to know what the mantle clock represents but I cannot find even where they mention a mantle clock.
I’m not sure what it means, but when Gatsby and Daisy meet again for the first time in years, in Nick’s cottage, Gatsby nearly knocks the mantle clock off of the mantle, but catches it before it falls. Perhaps Fitzgerald was referring to time lost, or almost lost, or something like that.
Fitzgerald didn’t put anything in the story that wasn’t meant to be there, there is so much symbolism.
