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.
