The Heart Goes On, So Does the Grandfather Clock

Since its reinvention from the ho-hum long case clock, the grandfather clock is still going strong. It has continued to be a focal piece in households all over the world. Its timeless elegance and unparalleled quality never diminished through the years. The tall clock has adapted to the changing tastes and continues to be a sought-after item for homes and offices.

There are three design categories of the grandfather clock:

1. Traditional or antique reproductions

2. Contemporary

3. Curio

There are other variations, but nothing beats the original or the traditional design so familiar to many generations all over the globe. It is still the tall and regal grandfather clock that gets the vote, hands down.

From the three popular categories, interior decorators, homemakers, and collectors can make their choices to suit their specific needs. The thoroughly modern Millie would opt for the contemporary version, or an interior decorator would opt for a traditional or curio to go with the decorating theme. So it is understood that a grandfather clock has a place in all homes and offices.

Not Your Average Clock

Young couples building their homes are hesitant to get a grandfather clock, fearing its stiff price. They shouldn't because these beautiful clocks have different price packages. But people must know that these clocks are not your ordinary clocks.

These are carefully handcrafted by masters who have been in trade for years. The craftsmanship has been passed on to younger artisans after rigid training and apprenticeship. This is reassuring because people are still getting top-notch quality in these times.
