Is it possible to add an autowind feature to a Hermle grandfather clock movement? The movement in question is the Hermle 1171-890 tubular movement.

I wouldn't no.

Not sure even if fitted how it would work ie auto winds need movement.

Maybe one can fit an autowind that takes power from the hands moving?

Jokes apart, we have a section on this forum where it's considered polite for new members to introduce themselves.

Here is a video to an autowind for a Hermle, it's somewhat childish to start then it shows the auto wind part that fits to the movement.

The smell of bacon every morning must have been wonderful.. So not such a daft idea after all.
