Alcott Wall Clock 613-229

Chimes quarter-hours & strikes the hours.

Howard Miller Alcott key-wound wall clocks 613-229 are finished in Windsor Cherry on select hardwoods and veneers. An impressive pediment features a sculptured cove and enlarged dentil molding. An off-white Roman numeral dial features a solid brass bezel and decorative accents between the numerals.

A polished and raised brass-finished pendulum with grid, and polished chime rods add a distinctive touch to the interior of these key-wound wall clocks.  The pendulum is an important part of a mechanical clock and helps regulate the speed. 

Howard Miller Alcott Wall Clocks 613229 showcase the German Kieninger, key-wound, Westminster chime movement that plays 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 this wonderful chime.   

These mechanical wall clocks are wound with a 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.

An industry exclusive dual-ratchet winding arbor ensures safe movement winding for these mechanical key-wound wall clocks.  Moreover, Howard Miller Alcott chiming wind-up wall clocks also include a chime silence option and durable bronze bushings.
