Grandfather Clock Movement



grandfather clock movement



“England swings like a pendulum do
Bobbies on bicycles, two by two
Westminster Abbey, the tower of Big Ben
The rosy red cheeks of the little children.”

– Roger Miller – England Swings

Fascinating Grandfather Clock movement

From the swinging of the pendulum to the suspension spring, pallet and escape wheel the intricate mechanisms that create and sustain grandfather clock movement remain largely unseen and unheralded for something that routinely withstands the test of time.

It’s an elaborate an often unseen dance between wheels, drums, hands and weights that allow the timeless tick and chime of your grandfather clock. The grandfather clock movements are needed to work together in perfect harmony.

The ornate façade of the most beautiful grandfather clock is little more than beautiful dressing without precision grandfather clock movements.

If you’ve ever removed the back of a manual wind wristwatch you may have been barraged with rotating wheels and ticking that caused the hands of your watch to give you an indication of the time.







This is the same picture of grandfather clock movements. The primary difference between a wristwatch and a grandfather clock is mechanisms that are larger and interlinked for a pristine beauty unmatched by more advanced time keeping devices.

No digital numerals, no insistent beeps of an electronic alarm clock and no fear in the event of a power outage.

In those times when darkness descends on your home the comforting tick of your grandfather clock continues to keep time independent of outside influences.

The grandfather clock movements allow your timepiece to remain its own independent timekeeper.

What other device in your home can make such a claim.

And when the time comes when your grandfather clock movements cease their faithful service there are those who understand your devotion to the ‘clock’. Parts and assemblies are available to bring life back to your heirloom.

“If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that Id like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you.”

– Jim Croce – Time in a Bottle
