A Clock makes a great gift….Remembered

placeofclocks — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:56:24 +0000

Hi all, Randall here with PlaceOfClocks.com. I want to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our guests. This has been a good year for us and we appreciate all the visitors we have had.

As many of you know, our prices are discounted to the point where we do not make much on each product we sell. So we normally charge shipping. However, during the Christmas Holiday this year we are offering Free Shipping on all of our Clocks, through January 10, 2013.

I am sure you will be impressed with our clock lines. We have added several designer clocks this last year.

Grace and Peace

Randall

An American Perspective and an American made Grandfather Clock

placeofclocks — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 00:41:29 +0000

An American perspective

Hi all, Randall here with PlaceOfClocks.com. It has been an interesting week with all the rhetoric about cutting spending and reducing the deficit. Is there any one out there besides me that is tired of the grandstanding and politics? It seems to me that the congress and the president have had plenty of time to deal with these issues. So why wait till the last minute? Maybe it has something to do with being able to stir up the public and be seen on National TV….You think?

Anyway, here in the clock world I thought I would post an American made Grandfather Clock from Ridgeway Clocks. Excellent quality with clear distinct chimes and lots of extras.

Outstanding quality from Ridgway Clocks

Ridgway Treasure Oak Grandfather Clock | Burlington

A high quality Grandfather clock with decorative hardwood and veneers, and a clear distinct chime.

A gracefully shaped solid bonnet with a raised burl accent on the front crown looks stunning in the Treasure Oak finish on select hardwoods and veneers. Reeded posts with turned capitols surround the clock’s dial and a detailed embossed molding runs along the bottom of the front locking door.
A functioning pierced moon dial with raised Arabic numerals, decorative embossed center and corner designs compliment the matching banded weight shells and lyre pendulum with 10 5/8” (270mm) embossed center disk. A fancy burl image on the back panel is highlited by an internal light and completes the ensemble and can be viewed from the side glass panels and locking front beveled glass door.
A triple chime cable driven movement plays Westminster, Whittington and St. Michael’s chimes and can be silenced through the night with an automatic night silence option.
A free engraved brass plate and two year warranty are included with this clock.

Economy bad….but we will not give up.

placeofclocks — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 19:28:51 +0000

Hi all, Randall here with PlaceOfClocks.com. As we sit watching the unemployment numbers creep higher and the news casters slump in their seats, it occurs to us that many of the “doom and gloom” self proclaimed prophets don’t get it. We are Americans. The economy will cycle….up and down like the tide at the beach, but listen up. We are Americans. We will not give up, nor will we slump into some kind of negative, basement mentality. We just keep working….period. If that work happens to be looking for a job, so be it. You will not catch us feeling sorry for ourselves, or slumping in a corner. We just aren’t made that way. We believe that anything is possible….and we work.

So, from the Small Business world of clocks here is another look at a designer wall clock from Seth Thomas. We actually heard about a possible resurgence from this company beginning in January of next year. I hope so. Seth Thomas was the first American Clock Maker and it has been in business…since 1813.

We have one of these clocks in our living room. The Sunflower. Beautiful chimes with a real wood tone that adds true elegance to our home.

Check this out.

A sunny moment in time.
