Anastasia II Grandfather Clocks 611-279

Chimes quarter-hours & strikes the hours.

These contemporary Howard Miller Anastasia II grandfather clocks 611-279 are inspired by the Swedish Mora clocks from the late 1800s. Aged Linen finish on select hardwoods and veneers is lightly distressed and wire brushed for a natural, reclaimed wood appearance.  Our staff loves Swedish style clocks, such as these.

Aged dial with worn black Roman numerals and minute track and charcoal hands. The crown on this clock is removable, offering two distinctive looks. Hinged, top door offers easy access for winding of the clock movement.  Our staff also loves the hinged top door and feel that it gives the grandfather clock more of a modern feel.

Hinged, locking front mid door features a glass window and offers a view of the aged nickel finished weight shells and pendulum. The pendulum bob is finished in aged nickel with a wood stick that matches the case.  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. 

The dial and case are illuminated, with an easy to reach roller switch on the back. The tapered base features a decorative cutout.

Howard Miller Anastasia II grandfather clocks showcase the German Kieninger, cable-driven, Westminster chime movement that plays 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 chimes accordingly with full chime and strike on the hour.  See our section on clock chimes for more information and history on this wonderful chime.

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.

Four floor levelers level the clock on any surface.

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

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

Designed and Assembled in the USA.
