I would really like to have gotten them a clock like the one pictured, a Howard Miller Raymour Grandfather Clock which stands an impressive 88-1/4" tall and features a swan neck pediment with embossed rosettes, crotch mahogany overlays, and an inlaid keystone at the finial seat. The polished brass dial has an astrological blue moon phase and the wood is a lovely Windsor Cherry. This particular clock has Triple Chimes which are Westminster, Whittington, and St. Michael's Church Chimes that ring every 15 minutes. If you aren't sure what the different chimes sound like, check out this blog post entry from the "1-800-4Clocks.com Grandfather Clocks Blog" that talks about Triple Chimes and gives you a link to a page where you can hear them for yourself. They sound absolutely beautiful!
Someday, when I win that elusive lottery that I like to mention now and again, I am most definitely going to buy myself a grandfather clock because I'll finally have the right kind of house to put it in and at long last I'll be able to hear the chimes echoing throughout the house every 15 minutes while I lounge in front of the fireplace in my library with a good book and a pot of tea! Now doesn't that just sound fantastic?
Hi, purchased a howard miller clock new in 1982 — a 610-158 — I believe it is called “the conoisseur. recently it has been slowing down and stopping after a 10-30 minute run. It is level both front and back ….I dont know whats that.
