Grandfather Clock a Part of the Family

By Johnathan Livingston

I grew up as part of a large family. We were all very close and on Sundays we would all meet at my grandparents house. It was a traditional home with wonderful wooden furniture. There were many stately pieces of furniture. But the Grandfather Clock they strategically placed in the corner of the Family room was the most impressive.

We used to sit in the family room and discuss world affairs, political events an all of the key issues of the day especially those that impacted our daily lives. It was very pleasant to be in the family room and listen to the melodic chimes flowing through the house.

I remember how great it was to celebrate holidays, special occasions and family events at my grandparents home. I still fondly recall how the rich chimes filled the house on those special occasions.

The other day while I was shopping for a Grandfather Clock I began thinking of the importance the Grandfather Clock played though out my childhood. I know that are many different types of clocks available today. Some Traditional Grandfather Clocks are very expensive models. They typically have expensive clock movements. There are also some inexpensive models that are key-wound Grandfather Clocks. These discount clocks look stately and chime faithfully although their clock movement is controlled by winding it with a key.

Grandfather Clocks typically have an Oak or Cherry finish. They also chime on the hour and the half hour.

I am looking at recreating some of my childhood memories. I am looking to purchase an affordable grandfather clock that I can also share with my family and pass down to the next generation just as my grandparents did.
