Clocks

Click on any image to enlarge

All tall case clocks are equipped with the finest American eight-day movements available.
Each movement is an accurate and authentic handmade replica of the original with adjustable pendulum, cable-hung cast iron weights, second hand, bell strike on the hour, and calendar dial.  The dial and movement are mounted a seat board that is removable as a unit. Clocks may be ordered with rocking ship, moon phase, or plain painted steel dial.

Simon Willard Tall Case Clock III

Yet another example of the Willard Roxbury case but with slightly less height than others.  This one is restrained in its ornament, using  figured solid mahogany with string inlay and inlaid quarter fans.  Here the plinths are inlaid rather than fluted.  Like the other Willards, it has fluted quarter columns and hood columns with brass bases and capitals with brass stop-fluting.  The dial includes a pendulum-driven rocking ship in the arch.

Mahogany, holly and ebony inlays, 90"h, 20"w, 10"d

All measurements are maximum sizes, including finials, moldings,
and feet, and are rounded up to the next half-inch.
