May 4, 2009 Geochron is everywhere!

Recently we were visiting Emily at Texas A & M University.  While Emily was giving us a tour of the campus, we came across a Geochron world time piece in the student union building that had been presented to the university back in the late 1980's.

Geochron World Clock



This showed us two things about this Geochron timepiece:
1. The beauty of this smart contemporary design that compliments any decor whether it is hanging in a home, commercial place of business or educational building.
2. This particular Geochron timepiece has been running and on display for over 15 years for all who pass by to see the durability  and reliability of Geochron clocks.  Go Aggies and go Geochron!

A Gift of Time--- January 25, 2009

It may be hard to believe that it has already been a month since Christmas.  There was an article in the newspaper right after the holidays that claimed a large percentage of people could not remember what they received as a Christmas gift from the previous Christmas.  This maybe true is most cases, but I still remember one particular gift. When I first started out on my own, I lived in a small apartment and I received a solid wood mantel clock as a Christmas present from my parents.  The mantel clock was the perfect size for my living space.  It featured Winchester chimes that chimed on the quarter hour.  Many years later I still enjoy this chiming mantel clock today.  

Mantel clocks are relatively small, moveable clocks traditionally placed on the shelf, or mantel, above the fireplace.  The form, first developed in France in the 1750s, can be distinguished from earlier clocks of similar size due to a lack of carrying handles.  These clocks are highly ornate, decorative works.  They are most frequently constructed from any combination of ormolu, porcelain and wood.  Mantel clocks were also known as shelf clocks.  In contrast to wall clocks, whose movements were attached to the back board, the shelf clock had its movement supported by a seat board. In the 1830’s The Willard brothers revolutionized the clock manufacturing by both labor division and using multiple previous molded parts.  However, it is commonly accepted that historically their clocks weren’t definitively popular.  Instead, Eli Terry popularized the mantel clock ownership among common American people. It is interesting to note that today a Simon Willard clock in perfect condition is worth from $50,000 to $250,000.

Both examples show the durability and value of mantel clocks.  I invite you to check out our many different styles of mantel clocks.  Some offer a chiming feature, all are American made.  These mantel clocks offer beauty, richness and value to your home.  They are also a thoughtful gift that will be appreciated for many years as I can attest.  It does not have to be a Christmas gift.  There are many opportunities to give someone a special gift of a mantel clock.

A mantel clock is the perfect gift for special milestone birthdays, wedding anniversary, graduations, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, job promotion, retirement or just because….. 
WindyCityClock.Com will also ship it FREE to anyone in the continental United States.  Wow, a beautiful gift and savings too!   Some of the facts about the early mantel clocks and shelf clocks are courtesy of Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.  Thanks for visiting WindyCityClocks.Com and take a minute to check out our mantel clocks.
