Thomas Tompion Mantel Clock 612-436

Chimes quarter-hours & strikes the hours.

These key-wound mantel clocks, Howard Miller 612-436 Thomas Tompion, are finished in Windsor Cherry on select hardwoods and veneers.

Mr. Tompion was a founding member of England’s famed Clockmaker’s Guild of the 1630s.

These mechanical mantel clocks present rare olive ash burl veneers on the door and hand painted gold decorations accent the case. Glass sides and mirrored back reveal the movement. Brass finished dial offers silver chapter ring.

Key-wound, triple-chime German Kieninger movement plays 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.  

Key-wound mantel clocks are wound with the provided key once a week.  The middle winding arbor winds a spring that powers the time function.  The right winding arbor (as you face the clock) winds the spring that powers the quarter-chime function.  Lastly, the left winding arbor winds the spring that powers the hour strikes.  We've written an article on how clocks work for some more interesting information on the mechanics of heirloom clocks.
