Oh! Look At The Time

I love clocks. In fact, I have a small collection of them. I have several wall clocks, desktop clocks, a mantle clock, and I even have a backwards clock. The one thing I don’t have yet is a grandfather clock.

When we got married and moved into our first house there were two things we wanted for the house. One was a big leather chair and the other was a grandfather clock. We got the chair, but we still don’t have the clock, but that hasn’t stopped my wife from looking.

Every now and then she points me to a site with grandfather clocks and asks me which ones I like. I tell you, when you’re looking at Howard Miller clocks, it’s hard to choose. Of course, I always find several that I like, such as the Howard Miller J.H. Miller Grandfather Clock. Man, I love that clock.

As a woodworker, the craftsmanship on that clock blows me away. The quality of the handcarved rosettes and finials and the Kieninger mechanical movements are testiment to the caliber of clock made by the Howard Miller company. I would love to see that clock standing proudly in my living room.

Did you know that Kieninger and Hermle are the only two remaining high-end mechanical movement manufacturers left in the world? Who would want a non-mechanical grandfather clock anyway? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?

I love looking at 1-800-4clocks.com because they have Grandfather Clocks, Wall Clocks, Mantel Clocks and more. When I hit their site, I get so carried away, it’s almost as if time stands still. That’s a good thing, yes?
