Schultz Golden Triple-Chime Grandfather Clock
Top-tier triple-chime with rare burl accentsDescription of Schultz Golden Triple-Chime Grandfather Clock
We consider the Schultz to be among Howard Miller’s more luxurious offerings: a triple-chime cable-driven movement housed in a masterfully veneered case. It’s intended as a focal, high-end piece in more formal settings.
A showcase-level grandfather clock featuring triple chime options and bookmatched olive ash burl veneers. It combines ambitious cabinetry and a high-precision cable-driven movement for collectors and refined interiors.
Key features and benefits
- Cable-driven triple-chime movement with three distinct melodies and adjustable volume

- Automatic nighttime shutoff and locking door for family-friendly use
Practical insights and limitations
Expect higher cost for the premium materials and movement. Delivery and setup are practical considerations because of the weight and size; professional delivery or on-site expertise may be needed. For houses that entertain guests or that host formal spaces, the Schultz makes an excellent centerpiece.
Who it’s for
We recommend the Schultz for buyers seeking an heirloom-quality clock with top-tier materials and sonic options — collectors, enthusiasts, and owners of formal living spaces will appreciate its craftsmanship and flexibility.

Langhurst Espresso Chain-Driven Grandfather Clock
Classic bonnet pediment with German movementDescription of Langhurst Espresso Chain-Driven Grandfather Clock

Key features and benefits

- Polished brass dial, ornate corner spandrels, and moon phase complication
- Removable top panels for easy access during servicing and a locking door for security
Practical insights and limitations
This model sits at a higher price point, but the combination of a German movement and detailed cabinetry makes it a candidate for an heirloom purchase. As with any large clock, careful unpacking and inspection on delivery are important to avoid issues from transit.
Who it’s for
We suggest the Langhurst for collectors and homeowners who want a visually rich, mechanically authentic grandfather clock with features that make long‑term ownership and maintenance practical.

Volhard Wood Finish Convex Glass Clock
Detailed traditional craft with German movementDescription of Volhard Wood Finish Convex Glass Clock
We see the Volhard as a thoughtfully detailed traditional grandfather clock: a carved case, convex crystal, and a cable-driven German movement. The overall presentation emphasizes cabinet craftsmanship and reliable timekeeping.
A richly detailed floor clock featuring carved accents, convex crystal, and a cable-driven German single-chime movement. It’s built for longevity and quiet reliability with a refined traditional presence.
Key features
- Cable-driven single-chime German movement playing Westminster each hour
- Lightly distressed wood finish, decorative carving, removable turned urn finial, convex glass crystal
- Brushed brass weight shells and pendulum bob with automatic nighttime shutoff
Practical insights and limitations
This model is heavy and tall; installation and placement should be planned ahead. While single-chime models are sonically satisfying, buyers wanting multiple melodies should compare other multi-chime models. For a traditional aesthetic with reliable German mechanics, it ranks highly.
Who it’s for
We recommend the Volhard for traditionalists who want a robust, well-crafted cable-driven clock with detailed cabinetry and a classic presence in the home.
What Are The Pros
- Cable-driven German movement with precise Westminster chime
- Convex crystal, decorative carvings, and removable finial for classic styling

What Are The Cons
- Large and heavy — requires ample space and care at delivery
- Single-chime option may feel limited compared with multi-chime models

Morel Yorkshire Finish Cable-Driven Clock
Elegant Yorkshire finish with classic Westminster chimeDescription of Morel Yorkshire Finish Cable-Driven Clock
We view the Morel as a classically styled floor clock that blends decorative woodworking with a cable-driven mechanical movement. The Yorkshire finish, arched bonnet pediment and blue moon phase create a traditional aesthetic that reads as an heirloom piece.
A classically proportioned cable-driven floor clock with a decorative arched bonnet and blue moon phase. It pairs traditional ornamentation with robust mechanical movement and family‑friendly security features.
Key features
- Cable-driven Westminster movement with quarter-hour chimes and full hour strike
- Arched bonnet pediment with shell and vine overlay, polished brass dial with moon phase, mirrored back
- Locking lower door, illuminated interior, and adjustable levelers
Practical insights and limitations
We recommend measuring doorways and delivery access before ordering because the clock is heavy and substantial. For rooms with formal décor or traditional furniture, the Morel will integrate naturally; for very modern spaces, it may feel stylistically formal.
Who it’s for
We recommend the Morel for those who want a true traditional grandfather clock with classic detailing, reliable cable-driven mechanics, and family-friendly security features.
What Are The Pros
- Cable-driven Westminster movement with quarter-hour chimes and full hour strikes
- Decorative arched bonnet, reeded columns, and mirrored back for depth

Mayer II Windsor Cherry Grandfather Clock
Illuminated cable-driven classic centerpieceDescription of Mayer II Windsor Cherry Grandfather Clock
We view the Mayer II as a nearly textbook example of Howard Miller’s approach to traditional floor clocks: a cable-driven movement, an illuminated display, and classic Windsor Cherry finish details. It’s meant to be a focal point in living rooms, entryways or offices where presence and sound matter.
A refined, cable-driven timepiece that balances formal styling with robust mechanics. It’s ideal for homeowners who want a statement heirloom that chimes with authoritative presence while offering illuminated display details.
Key features and benefits
- Cable-driven Westminster chime movement that plays quarter-hour chimes and full hour strikes
- Illuminated interior, beveled glass, mirrored back, and polished brass dial for strong visual impact
- Adjustable levelers and a locking door for stability and child safety
Practical insights and limitations
The Mayer II is heavy (expect professional delivery and careful placement) and occupies a significant vertical footprint, so we recommend measuring your intended space beforehand. If you’re seeking the lowest maintenance option, a quartz clock might be preferable; however, for long-term heirloom value and a traditional chime experience, this model is a strong choice.
Who it’s for
We recommend this clock for buyers who want a high‑quality mechanical heirloom that doubles as decorative furniture. It delivers impressive sound, refined detailing, and an illuminated case that keeps the mechanism on display.
What Are The Pros
- High-quality cable-driven Westminster movement with full hourly strikes
- Illuminated case and beveled glass highlight dial and pendulum
- Solid build with adjustable levelers and locking door for safety
- Classic Windsor Cherry finish complements traditional interiors
What Are The Cons
- Heavy and large — requires careful delivery and placement
- Higher price point compared with quartz alternatives

Albert Contemporary Black Floor Clock
Sleek contemporary clock with classic chimeDescription of Albert Contemporary Black Floor Clock
We find the Albert to be Howard Miller’s contemporary proposition for homes that prefer clean lines and restrained ornamentation. The flat-top pediment and nickel-finished moldings produce a sophisticated, modern feel while the cable-driven movement preserves traditional chime performance.
A streamlined floor clock that pairs a contemporary black finish with traditional Westminster chimes. It’s designed to suit modern interiors while retaining reliable cable-driven movement and practical silence options.
Key features
- Cable-driven Westminster chime with automatic nighttime silence option
- Crisp white dial with nickel bezel and coordinated nickel accents on hardware
- Beveled glass on upper and lower doors, adjustable levelers, and locking door
Practical insights and limitations
If you want ornate woodworking or an antique look, the Albert’s contemporary aesthetic may feel too plain. That said, the built-in mechanical quality, chime control, and stability features make it a fine choice where visual discretion and mechanical authenticity are equally valued.
Who it’s for
We recommend the Albert for buyers seeking a modern, well‑built grandfather clock that delivers traditional chimes without heavy ornamentation.
What Are The Pros
- Minimalist black finish with nickel accents for modern interiors
- Cable-driven Westminster movement with nighttime chime shutoff
- Beveled glass and clean dial design for easy readability
- Adjustable levelers and locking door for practical use
What Are The Cons
- Less ornamental detail for buyers wanting elaborate traditional styling
- Premium price for a contemporary aesthetic

Jenkins Aged Silver Metal Floor Clock
Modern metal silhouette with quartz reliabilityDescription of Jenkins Aged Silver Metal Floor Clock
We see the Jenkins as Howard Miller’s artistic alternative — a metal-faced floor clock that reads like modern sculpture. The aged silver finish and walnut accents create an appealing contrast for buyers who want something less traditional.
An artful, sculpted metal floor clock that favors contemporary design over classic cabinetry. Its quartz movement makes it low-maintenance while the walnut-filled dial provides a warm contrast to the aged silver finish.
Key features
- Sculpted aged silver metal case with natural walnut-finished dial and bob
- Quartz battery-operated movement for easy ownership
- Compact 16.5" width and 74" height suitable for a variety of rooms
Practical insights and limitations
For those who prioritize the sonic character of mechanical clocks, this model won’t satisfy — its strength is design and convenience. We recommend it for contemporary homes or as an accent piece where the aesthetic is a primary concern.
Who it’s for
We recommend the Jenkins for design-conscious buyers who want a striking floor clock that requires minimal maintenance and complements modern interiors.
What Are The Pros
- Distinctive sculpted metal silhouette for contemporary interiors
- Quartz battery operation keeps maintenance to a minimum
- Natural walnut accents add warmth to the metal finish
- Slim design suitable for smaller spaces
What Are The Cons

- Quartz action lacks the acoustic depth of mechanical chimes

Coeur d'Alene Dark Coffee Oak Clock
Modern mixed-material statement clockDescription of Coeur d'Alene Dark Coffee Oak Clock
We see the Coeur d'Alene as Howard Miller’s modern take on the floor clock — it pairs a dark coffee oak finish with a visible metal frame and LED illumination. The design favors contemporary living rooms where space and lighting control matter.
A contemporary standing clock that blends wood and metal for a modern look at a modest price. Its LED illumination and battery-powered quartz movement make it practical for low-maintenance display settings.
Key features
- Battery-powered quartz movement (low maintenance)
- LED spotlights for dial and pendulum with touch dimmer (low, medium, high, off)
- Slim 20.25" width that fits smaller alcoves or hallways
Practical insights and limitations
This model’s strengths are aesthetics and convenience; it won’t reproduce the richness of a cable-driven or chain-driven mechanical chime. For buyers seeking a modern look with minimal upkeep, it’s a compelling value. However, collectors or traditionalists who prioritize acoustic authenticity should consider mechanical alternatives.
Who it’s for
We recommend this clock for design-oriented buyers who want a low-maintenance, illuminated floor clock that reads well at night and fits into contemporary décor without dominating the room.
What Are The Pros
- Attractive wood-and-metal mixed construction for modern interiors
- LED lighting with touch dimmer and multiple brightness levels
- Slim footprint fits narrow corners
- Battery-powered quartz movement for minimal maintenance
What Are The Cons
- Quartz chime/strike lacks the depth of cable-driven mechanics
- Some buyers may prefer a fully wooden, traditional case

Klinman Chain-Driven Wood Finish Clock
Traditional look with mechanical chain driveDescription of Klinman Chain-Driven Wood Finish Clock
We regard the Klinman as a traditional, vintage‑inspired floor clock — swan-neck pediment, brass dial, and a chain-driven movement. It’s designed for buyers who like the look and mechanical presence of classic grandfather clocks.
A classically styled chain-driven clock that offers Westminster chimes and a stationary moon dial. It provides vintage charm and mechanical presence but some users reported inconsistencies on arrival.
Key features
- Chain-driven single-chime Westminster movement with quarter-hour chimes and full hour strike
- Polished brass-finished dial, stationary moon phase, and a swan-neck pediment
- Adjustable levelers and a chime silence option
Practical insights and limitations
A number of buyers have reported variations in what arrived (cosmetic weights, missing doors, or transit damage), so we recommend inspecting the unit closely upon delivery and documenting any issues promptly. Mechanically, the clock can serve well if the components are intact and correctly installed.
Who it’s for
We suggest the Klinman for buyers who prefer a traditional mechanical experience and are willing to verify the condition on delivery. It’s a solid pick if you prioritize classic styling and mechanical chime over modern conveniences.
What Are The Pros
- Chain-driven mechanical movement with authentic Westminster chimes
- Traditional swan-neck pediment and brass-finished dial for vintage appeal

Weight Shell Hook Set for Grandfather Clocks
Simple, practical replacement clock hooksDescription of Weight Shell Hook Set for Grandfather Clocks
We treat this weight shell hook set as a practical repair part rather than a decorative product. For owners of older Howard Miller and similar clocks, these hooks can restore functionality quickly when a hook bends or fails.
A small parts kit intended to restore or repair older-style weight shell hooks. It’s inexpensive and generally compatible with many grandfather and grandmother clocks, making it a handy spare to keep on hand.
Key features
- Three 3/4" hooks and matching nuts suitable for older-style weight shells
- Brass finish and machined threads intended for direct replacement
- Lightweight and inexpensive — good to keep as spares
Practical insights and limitations
Measure the original hook carefully before purchasing to confirm compatibility. This kit is ideal for intermittent repairs but not a substitute for professional restoration when multiple elements of the weight assembly or casing are damaged.
Who it’s for
We recommend these hooks for clock owners, hobbyists, or repair technicians who need a low-cost, quick fix for older weight-driven clocks.
What Are The Pros
- Economical pack with three hooks and nuts
- Direct replacement designed for older style grandfather clocks
- Simple installation — no modification typically required
- Well-dimensioned and threaded per user reports
What Are The Cons
- Not a full repair kit — limited to hooks and nuts
- Compatibility depends on the specific clock model and dimensions

Final Thoughts
We recommend the Schultz Golden Triple-Chime Grandfather Clock as our top pick. Its triple-chime options, high-precision cable-driven movement, and rare bookmatched olive ash burl veneers make it a showcase-level piece—perfect for collectors or anyone wanting a dramatic focal point in a formal living room, entry hall, or traditional parlor.
For a slightly more classic and practical option, we favor the Langhurst Espresso Chain-Driven Grandfather Clock. With a German Westminster movement, a bonnet pediment, and family-friendly features like a locking door and removable access panels, it’s ideal for households that want heirloom looks with everyday durability and easier maintenance.
