grandfather clocks
Floor-standing pendulum clocks
A grandfather clock is a tall, freestanding pendulum clock, typically six to eight feet high, with the clockworks housed in a wooden case.
The long case accommodates the pendulum and weights that drive the mechanism.
These clocks often chime on the hour or quarter-hour.
The grandfather clock in the hallway has been in our family for generations.
Smaller versions are called grandmother clocks.
