Clocks. Significant clocks.

I’ve been shopping around trying to educate myself about which grandfather clock to buy for our home. There’s an interesting blog about clocks which describes makes and models of grandfather clocks as well as the internal mechanisms of each brand. Turns out, 1-800-4clocks.com features ONLY German movements. It is an ever-increasing discussion — cheap-o internal parts made in … China, let’s say… with quartz mechanisms versus the high-quality, true to form mechanical grandfather clocks. This is one instance where you surely get what you pay for. The clock I buy will be the best. It’s to be passed down from generation to generation. Like the wall clock my great-aunt bought years ago, a Seth Thomas, my clock needs to last throughout time. Get it, thoughout time? Anyway…
I’m checking out the Grandfather Clock Selection from America’s Top Clock Shop™ . Yes, it’s true, I want, no change that, I need a grandfather clock. To me, grandfather clocks represent stability. Since there’s no possibility of me inheriting a nice clock, it’s time for me to consider buying a grandfather clock that can be passed down to grandchildren and then their children. This means buying a really high quality timepiece. Like a Kieninger — known for their incredible beauty and elegant design. I’m placing this in the category “gift suggestions” for a reason — hint hint hint.
