Grandfather Clocks

 

Grandfather clocks, also known as floor clocks, are the patriarchs of timepieces. They sit or stand on the floor and are distinguishable from grandmothers by their taller size. Indeed, some can be as tall as 93 inches, such as some of the limited edition grandfather clocks. They are memorable heirloom timepieces that can make a great statement in any home or office. The most popular brand and models are Howard Miller grandfather clocks.  Like most mechanical timepieces, grandfather clocks will usually have a case, pendulum, and weights, and some will play a melody. Although most have these traits in common, the style they're presented in can differ.

 

The clock case is the most apparent visual aspect. The traditional clock case usually has either a "box" case or a "pinch waist" design, such as some of the traditional grandfather clocks.  The pediments can highlight the case with a swan neck pediment or a bonnet pediment. Additionally, a more contemporary look can include a flat top pediment or a round top, such as some of the contemporary grandfather clocks by Howard Miller.  Access to the movement is usually made through the front, but some cases can have a removable hood.

 

Pendulums for the movement inside the case can be as simple as a wood stick pendulum or an elaborate lyre pendulum. Similarly, the weights can be simple and plain or decorative with matching weight bands. The inside of the case can also offer illumination, which allows the illuminated dial to be viewed in a darkened setting while the glow accents the pendulum, weights, and possibly even a moon dial.

 

Most mechanical grandfather clocks will offer a traditional chiming melody.  Most will offer at least just the single Westminster chime, while others will offer a triple chime option, such as the presidential grandfather clocks.  These mechanical chimes are usually played on metal rods.  A particular limited edition clock of note is the J.H. Miller II, model 611-031, which plays the mechanical chimes on metal tubes instead of rods and will therefore produce a different sound.  Visit our section on clock chimes for a complete overview of common clock chimes.
