Everything about Clocks - Cuckoo Clocks, Grandfather Clocks, Antique Clocks, Mantel Clocks

The sound of clocks was always in the background when I was growing up. My German grandparents had a beautifully carved cuckoo clock, my English grandparents had a grandfather clock which chimed every quarter hour, my own parents had a mantel clock that had pride of place over the fire and I slept soundly every night soothed by the steady ticking of my bedside alarm clock. 

 

My children now check the time on their mobile phones or in the bottom corner of the PC screen. I love the sight and sound of clocks in public places - Big Ben's chimes are another fond memory and I have recently learned about rhythm clocks, with their animated characters, tunes and of course the Swarovski crystal pendulum.
