My late grandfather had a pendulum clock. I marvelled at its chimes when I was little. However, the next door neighbor complained about the noise, so my grandfather switched the chime and hours off. That clock still exists at my 90-year-old grandmother's house and it still works. Marvellous piece of engineering.

I think it could be that they are from a time long before the chaos of modernity, a more sedate time when people generally didn’t rush around everywhere and there was no noisy traffic or thumping “music” etc. the same sort of feeling old buildings give you. I remember the grandfather clock my dad’s aunt had. Dad was born in 1909 and his aunt was an old woman when I was at pre-school age more than 60 years ago and it was handed down to her. It was a dark oak clock. I love the loud tick-tock of them. Very relaxing. I love spotting them in period dramas. One old thing I can’t ever remember seeing in any house is an oil lamp, the kind you also see in period dramas. I love seeing people turn them up in dramas, so I bought an Edwardian one. I love lighting it. I also reckoned it will come in handy in a power cut.

Reading all your comments, I am glad the memory will stay with him, the clocks will eventually pass on to him, I hope he will enjoy it then as he does now.

I bought an antique grandfather clock (coffin box style) when we lived in Germany in 2015. Last year my husband must have moved the slide in the clock when he was pulling the chains to wind it up. Next quarter hour, we had a different chime (St. Michael). Our dog even noticed and started barking at the different chime. I thought the clock was malfunctioning until we opened the case again and saw it had the slide to change the sound. I much prefer the Westminster.

Just fixed my triple chime Keininger. It had a warped arbor on the time chain wheel. FYI, if your clock runs fine, then the center weight falls suddenly, this may very well be the issue. That was what was wrong with mine. The gears of the time chain wheel would come disengaged with the gear train because of the warped arbor. No one I asked about it knew what the problem was. I did a lot of inspection to figure it out. Also note, Keininger does not sell a K series time chain wheel at the moment, but the R series wheel fits...found this out by experimentation. This means The K, R, and M series all have the same time chain wheel (K and M series are the same, K is just thicker hardware).

I bought an Emperor clock movement (Emperor 100M Replacement Movement Kit (#209)) and built a Grandfather Clock Case from scratch and installed the movement. I built it for my daughter in 2006 and it looks & sounds great in her home. There is a small engraved plate with my name and the date inside the front door. My hope is it will be passed down to one of her children and ultimately to their children's children. I left the drawings I had created, while designing the case, in the base of the cabinet and attached a horseshoe (open side up for good luck) in the top portion of the clock behind the movement. One day maybe a great, great grandchild will discover it and think back to their great, great grandfather in the old timey days of the early 2000's. I wish I had something one of my grandfathers had made that was passed down, but alas, no. However, I get a special feeling every time I hear the ticking when visiting my daughter, son-in-law & grandchildren.
