Focal Point Wall Clock 622-779

Chimes quarter-hours & strikes the hours.

The Howard Miller Focal Point Wall Clock 622-779 is a magnificent 65" weight-driven wall clock and features a visible movement made from highly polished solid brass.  It has a real presence in any room and is truly unique.  Our staff also loves being able to see the movement.

The .25" thick clear acrylic dial has a separate second hand track, black hands and polished-brass hour markers.

Polished brass-finished bezel and an off-white ring 26" in diameter accent the dial.

Polished brass-finished weights and pendulum are complemented by nine chrome-plated chime tubes.  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.  

This Howard Miller Focal Point wall clock also showcases the German Kieninger cable-driven, triple-melody, nine-tubular chime movement and features 36 bushings (24 bronze and 12 jeweled).  The Focal Point is what we call a "tube movement" clock and is indeed a durable movement that is sure to become a family heirloom.   

Plays the 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.
