- This is a grandfather clock that I found on Ebay, and just by chance, it was close to my location. The only drawback was that it was local pickup only. But fortunately, Brad and Scott Espe were kind enough to help with the delivery.
Ever since I saw the cable-driven grandfather clock at the Skaalen assisted living facility in Stoughton, Wisconsin in 2007, I've always wanted to own one of my very own, and after 15 years, my dream of owning one has finally come true. Even though it doesn't have the night silence option, it does have many of the same features I've been looking for. This clock comes complete with moon dial, triple chimes, quarter-hour chime and hourly strike silence options, and instruction manual. You may notice that on the split-screen portion of the video where the clock and the movement are shown simultaneously, the videos may not be in perfect sync, but I got the timing down as close as I could. Anyway, please like, subscribe, and turn on notifications.
Well find! Indeed a true grandfather clock! Even chiming clocks from 1980’s are good as I own 3 of them!
Wow! Three? That's awesome! I'm thinking of adding another grandfather clock to my collection soon.
@@tristangardner3889 not grandfather clock but Seth Thomas 3w, Emperor Westminster and elign triple chimes mantles but one grandfather clock undergoing movement swap.
Oh, I see. I didn't realize it at first. Still, that's a great collection.
This is a great find! Beautiful clock. Thanks for sharing the video!!
It's my pleasure. I plan to show my Chiming Clock Extravaganza video as the clocks ring in 2023.
My favorite thing about this clock is how the sound echos making it sound more pretty
I totally agree, my grandparents have a 1985 610-274 and it resonates very well
I like how the chimes resonate too.
@@tristangardner3889i believe this clock is from 1982 - 1986
I just got my Howard Miller Grandfather clock for Christmas. I can't wait until I get it started.
What wonderful news! I'm glad you got one.
@@tristangardner3889 Yeah...I always wanted one and it's the first piece of furniture I bought since I started my career last year. Do you have any advice about the upkeep? I want to pass this clock down to my niece and nephew.
As a matter of fact, I do. You may know some of this advice already, but I'll give it you anyway.
1. Clock movements need to be oiled every three to five years and cleaned every eight to ten years.
2. The four legs located at the bottom of the clock are called levelers, and can be adjusted so that you can not only keep the clock balanced, but keep the ticking in beat too.
3. There are safe zones where you can safely move the melody selector without risking damage to the melody wheel inside, provided that your clock has three to choose from, but it's best not to change the melody five minutes before the clock strikes any of the four quarter hours.
4. The three weights on your clock should be labeled with an L, a C, and an R. The L weight goes on the left, and that weight controls the hourly strike. The C weight is the center weight, and controls the time. And the R weight is the right weight, and it controls the quarter hour chime.
5. Most modern-day clocks have a self-correcting feature, where they'll correct themselves on the next hour. To set the time, you can move the minute hand backwards to the correct time.
I hope this advice helps.
@@tristangardner3889 Yeah it does. This is my first clock so this is not advice I know. I think I have the same model that you showed here in the video. I purchased it from a furniture dealer here in Michigan. Someone didn't want it anymore. I just reached out to Howard Miller to get a new face. The current one on my clock has a few scratches. I am sooooo going to enjoy this clock, thanks for the advice.
You're welcome. I'm just glad I could help.
Kieninger movement is different than hermle grandfather clocks on hermle grandfather clocks you turn it forward and if it's a kieninger movement you turn it backwards that's the different from winding the grandfather clocks
Very interesting. I was thinking about it when I saw some of the other grandfather clock videos.
Kieningers wind counterclockwise, whereas Hermles wind clockwise
That is correct
Thank you for explaining that-- I wondered!
Tristan, thank you for making the video. I just bought my first Howard Miller clock the other day & have to go pick it up. I am so excited and it has been a lifelong dream to have one of these. It is an absolutely stunning piece that I found. Question - I have been watching videos on moving the clock and I seem to have a good grasp on removing the weights, wrapping them up, not touching them with bare hands, wrapping up the pendulum, removing all the glass, etc. The question I have is that I have seen multiple opinions on laying the clock on its side if you are very careful. I have seen some say that you should never, ever lay a clock on its side for transport and I have also seen others say it is no problem if you protect the chime rods & lay the clock gently down on its side. Do you have any opinion on this? How did you move yours? I am just trying to determine if I need a moving van or if I can just use a friend's nice huge van to move the clock on its side.
Thank you for this beautiful video & your advice.
Those are excellent questions, for I had Brad and Scott Espe transport the clock in the back of their big SUV. Yes, the pendulum and the weights were wrapped up. The clock was actually transported on its back, not its side. When it arrived at my place, the Espes moved the clock together. Of course, not all the glass is removable. Just for safety, what I'd do is to try and protect the glass during transport. I hope it helps.
I own the exact model, very nice find
Thank you so much. I did research online to figure out the name of this particular model. I hope you continue to take good care of your grandfather clock.
@@tristangardner3889 Yes its in great condition. And I will make sure it stays in great condition for future genorations.
I purchased one of these in an estate recently, it was missing the pendulum. I made a home made but am looking to put one on it that is proper weight. The one I hung must be to light because it is running extremely fast. Would you happen to have an idea of the appropriate weight of pendulum for this clock? any help is appreciated Thx
That's a great question. Even though I don't know the exact weight of the pendulum bob in this grandfather clock, I did some research on it and found out that a common one-second pendulum bob, kind of like what I have in mine, weighs around two kilograms, which is about four pounds, give or take. I don't know if the grandfather clock you purchased has an instruction manual, but you can consult that or ask a local clock shop for additional information. I hope the information I provided helps you. Best of luck.
Est-il possible de supprimer la sonnerie des quarts d'heure en maintenant celle des demi-heures ?
Very nice clock!
Same😎😎😎😎😎
Glad you like it.
So I know how to get the beat perfectly spaced. Have you taken the pendulum off? Just push the part to one side then listen and see while it’s fast if you hear an even space in the tick. Then reattach the pendulum and enjoy.
Good tips to know. Actually, this clock has levelers that can be adjusted to get the clock in beat. I adjusted them a few days ago after I recorded the videos.
💯
Simplesmente lindíssimo👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
sounds beautiful
Nice video and clock
Glad you enjoy the clock. I've been soothed by chiming clocks ever since I was a baby.
❤hermoso reloj grandfather ,y sus melodias tradicionales.Como poder comprar uno .
Can you pick which chime you want? I have my in-laws now and clueless
If the clock you're talking about is a triple chime clock, then yes, you can. My grandmother and great-grandmother once told me many years ago that the quarter-hour chimes are helpful to people who are visually impaired. I set most of my clocks (not all) to Westminster because that's the easiest chime to remember. Just be sure to change the chime selection during one of the safe zones on the clock and not while the clock is chiming.
Simplemente hermoso
I love this clock.
Also, what are the dimensions? I’m curious because I plan on getting a Howard Miller triple chime grandfather clock at some point in the future that replaces my 31 day grandfather clock.
I'm glad you love this clock video. The Howard Miller Haverhill is 80 inches tall, 20 inches wide and 11 and a half inches deep. The 80-inch height includes the open pediment at the top. I wish you success in your quest to get a Howard Miller triple chime grandfather clock. I'm curious about your 31-day grandfather clock, though. Has it run into any problems?
@@tristangardner3889 Thanks, only major problem about it is that the strike doesn't work, the movement was left taken apart less than 4 years ago now and I'm thinking of a way to get it back together before I get rid of it.
Interesting. I assume you took it apart yourself, right? Who manufactured your 31-day clock?
@@tristangardner3889 No, me and my dad did, and I'm not sure which company made the clock, but it was made in China, as it said on the dial.
Sorprendente...
Urgos movement?
I don't believe it's an Urgos movement. I could be wrong, though.
@@tristangardner3889 alright so I found out I did some more research on this clock and it used a Keininger movement!
Interesting. I figured it was a Kieninger movement, but I wasn't sure. Thank you for clarifying. It's gratifying to know that there are people in this world who research clocks like I do.
The Urgos had the Winchester chime option and the Westminster chime was usually in E-major, which it is not here.
@@erikbunty2016 correct.
WAY prettier than my Howard Miller clock.
Weird shit people used to make. Sounds and looks great, however.
