I can still remember going to visit my grandparents on Sunday afternoon after church service.Their house was spacious and full of stately and elegant furniture. I remember the Grandfather Clock located in the center of the family room. It dominated the room towering above all the other furniture.

We used to sit in the family room and discuss world affairs, political events an all of the key issues of the day especially those that impacted our daily lives. It was very pleasant to be in the family room and listen to the melodic chimes flowing through the house.

I grew up in a very tight knit family, we were always visiting my Grandparents house. Every key milestone was celebrated there. We celebrated all holidays, religious events, birthdays and school events. My Grandparents Grandfather Clock always chimed faithfully. I will always remember the beautiful chimes it played regularly.

Recently, I found myself in a specialty Clock store and started reminiscing about my childhood days. While browsing through the store I saw many different shapes and sizes of Grandfather Clocks. I saw some very expensive models that were Traditional Grandfather Clocks with elaborate cable movements. I also saw that there were several inexpensive models that featured key wound Grandfather Clocks. These discount clocks are very affordable. They are not as heavy or as intricately designed as some of the more expensive models, yet they still look stately and chime faithfully.

Grandfather Clocks typically have an Oak or Cherry finish. They also chime on the hour and the half hour.

My Grandparents gave my father their Grandfather Clock as a family heirloom. My siblings and I were very happy about this. Now I am shopping for a Clock for my family and I am looking forward to continue the family tradition also.
