The Advent season
Christmas is the most important holiday of the year for most Germans. It is a season when the whole family comes together. The pre-Christmas period includes four weeks before Christmas Eve and starts with the first Sunday of Advent. The flat is being decorated with Christmas accessories like fir branches, Christmas tree decorations, and candles. Every Sunday during the Advent season, a candle on the Advent wreath is being lit.
Children get an Advent calendar which has 24 doors or small bags representing twenty-four days until Christmas. On Sundays during the Advent season, people often gather to have warm drinks like punch, mulled wine, or tea, and eat sweets like cookies, lebkuchen, and fruit cake. This tradition has been existing since the beginning of the 20th century.
Why is this wall clock perfect for the Advent season?
The colour: The warm dark-brown colour of the case made of walnut-tree wood perfectly fits into a warm and comfortable atmosphere! It can be combined with other furniture made of walnut, but moreover, it is an eye-catcher in a modern flat as well. As you can see in this example with light and even white furniture. For example, the brown colour in combination with the golden pendulum harmonises intensively with an orange-red fire in the chimney or with the candles on your Advent wreath. It provides a nice and optic warmth!
The glockenspiel: The clock has a mechanic 8-days 4/4 Westminster striking mechanism. During the Christmas and Advent season, people like to listen to Christmas songs or at least harmonious carols in the church. With this wall clock you have your own glockenspiel in your living room. These melodies perfectly introduce the Christmas season!
The classical aspect: In general, this clock is very classic. The dark walnut wood and the golden pendulum as well as the Roman digits are representative for this. Our sacred Christmas season is classic and very traditional as well. It comes from a very long tradition and is often reinforced by individual customs and traditions. This beautiful wall clock is meant to be a part of it, as it has a calm, contemplative, and warm appearance.
