Buy Grandfather Clocks - What You Should Know When Buying a Grandfather Clock Online
When customers search for grandfather clocks, there are usually questions that need to be answered before buying. This is because grandfather clocks are a special type of clock. For one thing, due to their size, grandfather clocks take up a special place in living spaces. That is why they must match existing decor in a special way, especially in terms of wood type and wood color.
In addition, the cost of purchasing a grandfather clock is often a major investment—one that people have saved for in order to treat themselves to this special clock as a unique decorative piece. Our price range for grandfather clocks is from 600 € to 8.000 €. Most grandfather clock models are sold in the price segment between 2.000 € and 5.000 €. In this price range, you get very high-quality grandfather clocks from renowned brands such as Kieninger, Hermle, or AMS, equipped with equally high-quality mechanical movements.
The movements installed here are either fitted with the Westminster chime or even a three-chime movement. These three chimes are the classic Westminster, the Whittington, or the St. Michael strike. If desired, clock enthusiasts can preset one melody here and switch to another when needed.
With almost all grandfather clocks, the chimes can also be switched off entirely, or there is the so-called night shutoff. This means you only hear the grandfather clock striking during the day, and it automatically switches off with the night shutoff at 22:00 in the evening and switches back on again at 7:15 in the morning. On request, however, the grandfather clock can also strike around the clock, if desired.
Buy grandfather clocks from a specialist dealer
These days, it has become difficult to view grandfather clocks directly at a specialist dealer and compare a wide range of different models. This is because dealers need a lot of space for them, the investment in grandfather clocks is very high, and it only really pays off if turnover reaches a corresponding level. In addition, all grandfather clocks are now offered in several wood tones.
Once a customer has decided on a model, of course they also want to buy it in the wood type that matches their furniture. In the past, the majority were rustic oak grandfather clocks, and you could rely on this wood type more or less. Today, grandfather clocks are sold in many different colors and wood types, making it difficult to assess tastes in advance. The woods most commonly used for grandfather clocks are walnut, cherry, black lacquered oak, light oak, and rustic oak.
