Winterhalder II Grandfather Clocks 611-188

Chimes quarter-hours & strikes the hours.

Traditional Howard Miller Winterhalder II grandfather clocks 611-188 display a Windsor Cherry finish on select hardwoods and veneers.

Bonnet pediment features book-matched, crotch-figured mahogany overlays.

The polished brass-finished dial features an open center that offers a view of the inner workings of the movement, elaborate center and corner ornaments, a moon arch with an astrological blue moon phase with a pierced star pattern, and a silver chapter ring with applied brass Arabic numerals.  Our staff loves the open center of the dial because it is so interesting seeing a part of the clock movement.

Polished brass-finished pendulum and weights feature a decorative center disk and weight shell bands that complement the dial. The pendulum is an important part of the clock and helps regulate the speed.  Similarly, the weights are also an important part and are what power the clock.  The middle weight powers the time and the pendulum.  The left weight (as you're facing the clock) powers the hour strikes.  Lastly, the right weight (as you're facing the clock) powers the quarter chimes. We've written an article on how clocks work for some more interesting information. 

Beveled glass is featured on the front lower door and sides.

Illuminated case with a glass mirrored back.

The door features a carved gadroon molding and is framed by reeded columns with carved column caps.

The multi-tiered Bombé base features a decorative cutout.

Howard Miller Winterhalder II grandfather clocks showcase the German Kieninger, cable-driven, triple-chime movement that plays your choice of Westminster, St. Michael, or Whittington 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 chimes accordingly with full chime and strike on the hour.  We've written an article on clock chimes for more interesting information and history on these wonderful chimes.  

Automatic nighttime chime shut-off option, which some people love because they don't hear it chime while they sleep.  Yet other people want to hear the clock chime all of the time.  Our experience is that the clock chimes are something that you get used to and will come to enjoy.

Free brass heirloom nameplate will be engraved with your name and special date.  This is something you can send in for, and we definitely recommend.  These traditional grandfather clocks can become heirloom timepieces if properly taken care of, and the nameplate will add to the memory for future generations.  

Heirloom Record Certificate with brass-finished capsule is included.  Again, this is another thoughtful idea because this will add more meaning for future generations.  

Locking door adds security.

Adjustable levelers under each corner add stability on any floor.
