One of the most recognizable names in the production of grandfather clocks is Howard Miller.
Howard Miller learned the art of making grandfather clocks from his father in the Black Forrest of Germany.
In 1926 he started his own company, and it has since grown to be the largest manufacturer of grandfather clocks in the world. This was accomplished by maintaining the highest standard in manufacturing. Each clock must be a masterwork of craftsmanship in order to carry the Howard Miller name. With the clocks such as
the traditional J.H Miller Grandfather Clock ,
the curvaceous Howard Miller Coco Clock ,
and the exquisite Howard Miller Veronica Clock ,
this tradition continues to this day.

Over the years, Howard Miller has acquired other clock manufacturers. Foremost among these is the Kieninger Clock Company . Founded in 1912 by Joseph Kieninger, it is the oldest manufacturer of floor clocks to still be in business today. Kieninger clocks have a traditional look to them, while at the same time incorporating the modern advances in technology.
Another division of Howard Miller is the Ridgeway Clock Company . The Ridgeway Clock company started life as the Gravely Furniture Company in 1926. In 1960, the name was changed to Ridgeway Clocks, as the company shifted focus exclusively to floor clocks. Howard Miller acquired the company in 2004. The makes of Ridgeway are versatile. They range from the more traditional to the very innovative.
The Black Forrest of Germany has produced many great tallcase clock makers, and one of the most prestigious is Hermle Black Forrest Clocks . founded in 1922, they have been in business for over 80 years. During this time they have been family owned and operated, which is not an easy task in todays competitive marketplace. While most of the clocks they produce are traditional in appearance, an exception is model number 01158-002200, A modern masterpiece of glass with a wooden base.
