3. What kind of movements do your grandfather clocks have ? Our grandfather clocks have dependable 31 day, key wind movements. You wind them once per month. The movement is driven by springs you wind instead of the weights. The chimes are created by two hammers hitting two chime pin rods. The pendulums swing side to side, keeping the clocks running.

6. Is there assembly once I receive my grandfather clock ? Yes, but it should only take less than 30 minutes. The only tool necessary is a phillips screwdriver to inset 8 machine screws. Excellent instructions are included, and you can call us if you have any questions. (see our “contact us” page) There is nothing technical about the assembly and set up.

7. What if my grandfather clock does not work after I receive it ? Our grandfather clocks are regulated at the factory. A “trouble shooting guide” is included. The most common resolution is to allow your grandfather clock to run 24 hours without the pendulum. You also can simply call us for assistance.

CUCKOO CLOCKS

8. What kind of cuckoo clocks do you sell ? There are two main styles of cuckoo clocks, traditional and chalet. Traditional clocks feature hand carved animals, leaves and hunting scenes. Chalet clocks are shaped like homes in the Black Forest region of Germany. Each is hand crafted which make them unique and desirable. Each cuckoo clock strikes the ½ hour and the hour. No two clocks are exactly the same.

9. What is the difference between one day movement and eight day movement ? One day movement cuckoo clocks run about 30 hours. The 8 day movement cuckoo clocks need to be wound only once a week. They have larger pine cone, iron weights. If there is a third weight, it will drive the musical movement. A cuckoo clock with three weights plays music and sometimes features moving figurines as well.

10. Where do your cuckoo clocks come from ? Our cuckoo clocks come from German manufacturers who have displayed outstanding quality, originality and attention to detail. They are all imported from the Black Forest of Germany by River City Clocks of St. Louis, MO.
