Every clock has its own voice and personality, its own special way of stirring memory or emotion. To plan for and acquire a clock can be a task for the mind but to live with it should be a joy for the spirit. ~ Unknown ~ For those of us who own a special clock, there is something nostalgic, even romantic about it. This is especially true if we own a clock that has been in our family for a long time. I'm not referring to the clock on your stove or microwave, or even your digital clock radio. I'm referring to those clocks which have more of an heirloom quality to them, usually key wound or weight driven clocks. A nice quality clock has the ability to outlast it’s owner, being passed on to new generations. Unlike a static piece of furniture that is handed down, a clock is more like a living thing, a faithful link between one generation and another. It is a pleasant thought to think of our forebears winding and setting the hands of the clock each week. Knowing that the clock was there throughout all the important events of life, ticking the moments away, realizing that the sound of its’ chime or strike occasionally hurried them on their way. When considering the purchase of your first clock or perhaps another clock, you may very well be starting another set of memories and emotions, and perhaps a descendant of yours fifty years into the future will be looking at this very clock and remembering you with kind and loving thoughts. Carriage Hill Wood Crafters wants to help you in starting your tradition with your purchase of our heirloom quality clocks.
