5/28/2013 Herschede - Revere Clocks Herschede - Revere Clocks Walter Herschede and Henry Warren worked together in 1925 to produce an electric clock with chimes, resulting in a new line of clocks, called Revere Telechron, in 1926. These clocks were manufactured by Herschede, which can be seen in the photos below. Figures 1 and 2 show a Revere Model 100 (1929) large, two-plate movement: Fig. 1 /telechron.html 1/ 5/28/2013 Herschede - Revere Clocks Fig. 2 Figure 3 shows a mechanical Herschede with Westminster chimes from the early 1920s. /telechron.html 2/ 5/28/2013 Herschede - Revere Clocks Fig. 3 The Revere clock was obviously based on this clock. Several Revere models were produced, including Model 120 with five tubular bells for grandfather clocks. These clocks were large, heavy, and obviously expensive. Below is one more example, a Herschede with a Telechron motor and a pendulum. This clock has Westminster and Canterbury chimes. It cost $91 in 1929. When you consider that a Model T Ford cost $256 in 1925, this mantel clock was probably cost-no-object engineering! Click on Figure 4 to view an enlargement, which will open in a new window.
