This is a rather interesting tale because it sounds so unlikely! Grandfather Clocks used to be referred to as Longcase Clocks, however due to a highly successful song by Henry Clay Work in 1876, called Grandfather\u2019s Clock, the name of Grandfather Clock stuck.

Did you know you can also buy a Grandmother clock?\u00a0 You will mainly see Grandfather clocks, however a Grandmother clock is smaller in size, which is great when you don\u2019t have the room for the larger clocks.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Movements<\/span><\/h3>

The mechanism that drives a clock is called movement.\u00a0 It is the heart of the clock, which keeps accurate time and plays the tunes.\u00a0 Ensuring your clock has a quality movement, means you will have an accurate and long-lasting timepiece, which will also sustain its value over time.<\/p>

Our Grandfather clocks use either Kieninger or Hermle movements, which are made in Germany.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Kieninger:<\/span><\/h3>

Is one of the leading Grandfather clock movement makers.\u00a0 Founded in 1912, Kieninger have mastered their skills over a hundred years and are the longest existing manufacturers of mechanical clock movements for Grandfather, wall and mantel clocks in the world.\u00a0 Kieninger has stayed with its traditional concept \u2013 the manufacture of technically advanced, high-quality mechanical movements and clocks.\u00a0 It is no surprise that they are known for their craftsmanship and highest quality products.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Hermle:<\/span><\/h3>

Founded in 1922, Hermle is another clock making company that prospered through the war and is still leading the industry in producing high-quality movements and prestige clocks.\u00a0 Hermle is known for its cutting-edge technology, precision and quality.<\/p>

Hermle clocks are well-known specifically for their precision and are produced from one of the most modern clock making plants in the world.\u00a0 They strive to stay on top of current technology, which compliments their work.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Chimes<\/span><\/h3>

Grandfather clock chimes<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>

Grandfather clocks are widely known for their majestic chimes and hour strikes resonating through the halls of a home.\u00a0 \u00a0Most Grandfather clocks will chime every 15 minutes,\u00a0 playing a progressive quarter of the chime as time ticks on.\u00a0 On the first 15 minutes the clock will play the first 4 notes of the tune, on the half and hour it will play half of the tune, at 45 minutes you will hear 3\/4 of the tune and when it hits the 12 o\u2019clock it plays the full tune of 16 notes.\u00a0 This will then be followed by the strike whose number will correspond to the O\u2019clock.\u00a0 The world famous Westminster chime is very popular and is most prominently featured in all Grandfather clocks with a single chime.\u00a0 If the clock features a triple chiming movement, the Whittington and St. Michael chimes more often than not make up the trio.\u00a0 Ave Maria and Ode to Joy are also two chimes which feature exclusively in some of our Grandfather clocks.<\/p>

Westminster Chime<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>

Originally derived from Handel\u2019s Messiah, the Westminster Chime became to be known as the Cambridge chime due to them being installed in the University Church tower clock at St. Mary\u2019s in Cambridge.\u00a0 They were later named the Westminster chime after being installed at the Palace of Westminster in London, now known as Elizabeth Tower.<\/p>

Whittington Chime<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>

The legendary Whittington Chimes rang in the Church of St. Mary Le Bow in Cheapside, London in the 16th<\/sup>\u00a0Century. Legend has it that a penniless boy, Dick Whittington\u00a0(1354-1423)\u00a0heard them as he ran away to escape his drudgery as an ill-treated house waif. The chimes seemed to say to him, \u201cTurn again,<\/em>\u00a0Whittington, Lord Mayor of London Town!\u201d\u00a0<\/em>So, back he went and persisted in his labours until he finally did become Lord Mayor of London Town and served three terms!<\/p>

St. Michael Chime<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>

A true story of adventure surrounds St. Michael\u2019s Chimes: The bells, cast in London, were installed in the St. Michael Church steeple in Charleston, S.C. in 1764. During the Revolutionary War, the British took the bells back to England. After the war, a Charleston merchant bought them and sent them back to America. In 1823, when cracks were discovered in them, they were sent back to London to be re-cast.<\/p>

In 1862, during the Charleston siege, they were moved to Columbia, S.C. for safe keeping, but Sherman\u2019s army set fire to the area, and nothing but fragments of the bells remained. These were sent back to London once more, where the original molds still stood, and again, re-cast. In February 1867, the eight bells were reinstated in the St. Michael steeple, and on March 21st<\/sup>\u00a0they rang out joyously, seeming to say:\u00a0\u201cHome again, home again, from a foreign land!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0There was a great rejoicing by the entire city as the bells rang out. Since then, they have endured a cyclone, earthquake and fire unharmed.<\/p>

Chime on\/off<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>

For those that enjoy a nights sleep with silence, the Grandfather clocks have an automatic and\/or manual on\/off lever where you can disable the chime.\u00a0 Once engaged by using the selector, the automatic night off function will continuously silence the chimes between approximately 10pm and 7am.\u00a0 If desired, the chimes and strike can be turned on or off as desired at any time of the day or night.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Moon dials<\/strong>\u00a0are a popular feature of the Grandfather Clock as they display the 29.5 day calender of the lunar phase. There are many types from simple to elaborate, but generally they show the lunar date and position of the moon in the sky. They are set once and then operate in conjunction with the clock movement.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Cases can be made from a variety of solid timbers including Oak, Walnut, Mahogany, Maple and Alderwood.\u00a0 They may also be veneered with specialty timber including burl accents and inlays, while others may have intricate carvings.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
