Last Chance at the Holiday Specials? I don’t think so!

December 31, 2008 · Leave a Comment

We had a pretty tough Christmas Season and it looks like to us that the next year is going to be tough.  So, what does that mean.  It means the sales will continue into January.  No one is wanting to hold lots of inventory when the economy looks so bad.   If you are in the market for a clock, it is the right time to invest in that heir loom.  Great prices on great clocks are still at a place of clocks.  Click here to see what we mean.

Why do we care if our clock is real wood or particle board?

December 29, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Well, maybe you don’t.  It just depends on how long you expect your clock to last, and how much tone you expect from your chimes.  The hardwoods used in most clocks have a distinct tone.  Have you ever heard someone play the bells?  A Clear, distinct tone is the goal of most clockmakers.  Here is a Seth Thomas mantel clock that chimes.    It is a real wood clock and the sound is fantastic.  Click here to go to the real wood clock store to see more real wood clocks.
