Howard Miller Clocks

Howard Miller Clock Company was founded in 1926. The company's founder, Howard C. Miller, was schooled in the fine art of clockmaking by his father, Herman, in the Black Forest region of Germany. Howard developed into a visionary whose keen sense of innovation spawned a tradition of excellence that has been uncompromised through three generations. While the early years focused on the manufacture of chiming wall and mantle clocks, Howard Miller also produced trendsetting avant-garde clocks that stand today in collectors' galleries. During World War II, Howard Miller joined forces with the Ford Motor Co. to produce anti-aircraft covers. In the 1960's, the company turned its attention to grandfather clocks, eventually earning the company the title of "World's Largest Manufacturer of Grandfather Clocks.

While Howard Miller clocks might once have been primarily considered as gifts for weddings, anniversaries, and retirements, the company's expanded collection is enticing more and more buyers who simply desire quality timepieces in their homes and businesses-no occasion required. Today, with its sprawling facility in Zeeland, Michigan, Howard Miller clocks are manufactured both at home and abroad and offer hundreds of styles to complement any decor.  They still present a popular retirement clock gift purchase at both our clock shop and online clock store.  The Howard Miller clock collection includes grandfather, mantel, accent, and wall clocks.

Howard Miller grandfather clocks include a vast collection and include categories such as presidential, traditional, contemporary, and limited edition.  The presidential models honor our nation’s past leaders with names such as Taylor, Eisenhower, and Reagan.  The traditional models include classic styling with lyre pendulums, finial tops, or bonnets.  Contemporary models include furniture trend designs that are versatile, which can be seen with models like the Arendal 611-005.  Lastly, the Howard Miller limited edition grandfather clocks are some of the best produced and include the J.H. Miller 611030 and the 9-tube movement J.H. Miller II 611031.  

Howard Miller mantel clocks showcase beautifully the classic mechanical key-wound movement.  These traditional wind-up, or key-wind, mantel clocks are powered by springs that are wound-up with a key.  Traditional styles included tambor designs like the Mason 630-161 and bracket styles like the Thomas Tompion 612-436.  One of our favorites is the limited edition Howard Miller Bradley Mantel Clock 63-260, which features triple chime options with fifteen different species of hardwoods and veneers.  Most of the Howard Miller key-wound mantel clocks will also feature a mechanical chime, such as Westminster.  However, clock chimes are not reserved just for key-wound movements.  Indeed, also produced are Howard Miller chiming mantel clocks that are battery-operated as well.

Howard Miller wall clocks are another vast collection and include categories such as key-wound, chiming, oversized, contemporary, and wrought-iron.  Key-wound wall clocks are the classic heirloom type of timepiece.  Key-wound types are wound-up with a key and are usually powered by springs or by weights, like the 9-tube movement, Howard Miller Focal Point Wall Clock 622-779.  Like their key-wound mantel clock counterparts, mechanical wind-up wall clocks will also likely produce a mechanical chime, like the classic Westminster chime.  Howard Miller also includes chiming wall clocks with battery-operated movements.  Another popular type of Howard Miller wall clock is the large gallery-style oversized wall clocks.  These large wall clocks can have a diameter as large as 49 inches, like the Postema 625-406.  

Howard Miller accent clocks are the perfect complement to any room.  These battery-operated, non-chiming clocks are versatile and decorative.  We love the size and presence of the Childress 635-222 and the classic styling of the Talia 635-190.  Accent clocks also offer fantastic price points and therefore make great ideas for gift clocks.
