A Howard Miller wall clock is a beautiful piece of furniture that you will be proud to own and to pass down as an heirloom. Each wall clock offers superior workmanship and unparallel quality. The Howard Miller Company was founded in 1926. The early years were focused on making chiming wall clocks and mantel clocks, but Howard Miller also manufactured trend-setting avant garde clocks that today are in many collectors’ galleries. The company offers hundreds of clocks that will complement any décor. They also offer other handcrafted products like collectors cabinets and alarm clocks. These prices range from five dollars to fifteen-thousand dollars but all are made with the same focus on quality and craftsmanship, no matter what the price.
A Howard Miller wall clock is produced in three styles: chiming, non-chiming and Ty Pennington design. Some clocks are very simple while others are very ornate. The company currently offers approximately fifty chiming wall clocks. The Alcott is an impressive wall clock that features a sculptured cover and enlarged dentil (a dentil is one of a series of closely spaced, rectangular blocks) molding. It has an off-white Roman numeral dial that features a solid brass bezel and decorative accents between each numeral. A polished and raised brass pendulum and polished chime rods add a distinctive touch. It also offers a chime silence option and is finished in cherry wood on select hardwoods and veneers. The Elaine Howard Miller wall clock features a decorative shell and decorative burl overlays. It has reeded columns, and an antique lyre and grid pendulum that counts the time. The Cortez is a contemporary wall clock with a brushed nickel finished bezel and grid pendulum. It also has an elegant curved glass front and features volume control and automatic nighttime chime shut-off option.
An Original Howard Miller III is a non-chiming Howard Miller wall clock and is authentic to the first timepieces that Howard Miller produced. It has fade-resistant inks and antique dials and is available with a seconds and dual hour movement. The Savannah Botanical VII is elegantly framed in antique brass bezel and has a decorative brass pendulum that swings below. The Oasis Wall is another non-chiming wall clock and it is very unusual and quite beautiful. It is made of natural slate and aged copper that serves as a backdrop for the tranquil, cascading water. Ornamental rocks are included and a light in the canopy softly illuminates the tower. This is a unique fountain clock and one that would fit great into a bedroom or family room.
A Howard Miller wall clock designed by Ty Pennington (from the television show Extreme Makeover-Home Edition) offers the same beautiful designs as any other clock produced by this company. The Castille is a gallery wall clock finished in black with an off-white dial. The Kristyn Wall has a brushed nickel bezel with raised bar style hour markers and a triple chime movement. The Astoria has metallic silver highlights for a very contemporary look and includes a white dial with two-tone silver and black Roman numerals.
As you can see from the small samplings of descriptions above, a Howard Miller wall clock is sure to suit your needs whether you are in the market for a simple, small wall clock or an ornate, large wall clock. Be sure to check around online before you make your decision as I have seen many dealers who offer free shipping and a warranty.

Howard Miller Wall Clock - Three Different Types
When you own a Howard Miller wall clock you can expect superior workmanship and unsurpassed quality. Howard C. Miller founded the company in 1926 at the age of twenty-one and left a legacy of attention to detail and craftsmanship. A Howard Miller wall clock comes in three different styles: chiming, non-chiming and Ty Pennington designed.
Chiming Wall Clocks
A Howard Miller wall clock that chimes is fashioned from many different types of hardwoods and veneers, mainly mahogany, oak and cherry. Most have a polished or brushed brass finished dial and they include a pendulum and quartz battery operated movement that plays various songs every quarter hour or every hour. Some have glass and decorative accents in various colors and in many you are able to open a front glass door for easy access to set the time. Some include a volume control and an automatic nighttime chime shut-off which are great options. Some are designed quite simply and some are very ornate with intricate scroll designs and decorative corner ornaments. A Howard Miller wall clock comes in every size and shape imaginable. Many are rectangular in various lengths and widths, some are octagon shaped, some are curved at the top, and others are flat at the top, while still others are round. Most are made of wood, but a few are contemporary and are finished in a satin nickel or antique bronze, while some have a platinum finish. Prices are as varied as the sizes and styles.
Non-Chiming Wall Clocks
A Howard Miller wall clock that is non-chiming is as varied as the chiming wall clocks although they are much smaller in size. Most of them are round but there are also many other shapes as well. Some are made of wood while others include a picture. There is the St. Ives Scottish Golf Clock that gives the feel of a simpler time. Then there is the Romanus Market VI that includes a fruit motif and is elegantly framed in an antique brass bezel and includes an antique brass pendulum. If you prefer a more contemporary look, search no further than the Bergen with its crisp white dial and black bar hour markers or the Paulina that is wrought iron in gold and charcoal gray. All the clocks include quartz battery operated movement.
Ty Pennington Designed Wall Clocks
Most people recognize the name Ty Pennington from the television show Extreme Makeover-Home Edition. Anyone that has watched the show knows that he is an expert craftsman who puts his heart and soul into his designs. A Howard Miller wall clock designed by Ty is sure to please just about everyone. The Solaris, which is a sunburst gallery wall clock, is among my favorite. It is finished in burnished antique gold with vintage antique mirrors. It is simple yet elegant enough to go with any décor. The Islander is made of environmentally friendly bamboo and would look good in any room of your home. All the clocks have quartz battery operated movement.
You can find many online dealers that offer a Howard Miller wall clock; just be sure that you purchase your clock from an authorized internet dealer to ascertain that all the warranties are in effect.
