About Antique Grandfather Clocks

Grandfather (aka long-case or floor) clocks are known for their swinging pendulums and hourly chimes. First produced by English clockmaker William Clement in 1670, they usually stand 6-8 feet high, and have tall, narrow cases and wide faces. They typically use a weight-driven mechanism: the clock is wound by pulling on chains that hang near the pendulum, giving weights on the other end room to slowly drop, powering the clock and the chime.
