In the clock world, the German makers are kings. Everyone seems to know intuitively that their movements are superbly made. A good many of these 8-day time and strike clocks were exported to destinations all over the world with a good many finding their way to our shores. Our generic term for them is "German Box Clock" and this is by no means a pejorative term. These clocks are real champions in our world. They are strongly built, reliable, and made for precise service for a lifetime. This particular 8-day is a time & strike (on a Cathedral gong) made in the "Arts & Crafts" style which we think is very attractive. Our head clockmaker has expertly restored this wonderful clock so that you may enjoy it for a lifetime, provided that you take care of it. Our one-year warranty for parts and labor will allow you to purchase this clock with complete confidence.
