The Joy of Antique Wall Clocks


In a world where the word “clock” has become synonymous with “cheap” and “plastic,” it is little wonder why many people choose to decorate their homes with elegant and beautiful antique wall clocks. These working pieces of art add a classic finish to any room, and allow you to see time in a different way. Their soft, musical chimes not only tell you what time it is, but do so in a soothing way.

Most of these clocks have not survived the ravages of time, which means those that remain should be treasured and cared for. They provide a challenging and relaxing pastime to hobbyists who repair and restore these charming timepieces. Anyone who takes part or wants to take part in this hobby should read this book. It’s a must have for those who like to delve into the intricate and beautiful levers, gears, and cogs of these antique wall clocks.

In addition to being a stylish and enjoyable addition to your house, antique clocks can also be a great investment, their value only increases with time. I recently read an article which said that if properly maintained, antique clocks can be worth up to $500,000!

If you are interested, you can read the full text of that article here.
