e-grandfatherclocks.com Launches New Website to Provide Online Guide to Grandfather Clocks

August 07, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
E-grandfatherclocks.com recently announced the launch of a new website, http://www.e-grandfatherclocks.com, which provides comprehensive information about grandfather clocks, antique grandfather clocks, grandfather clock kits and related information.

According to e-grandfatherclocks.com, a well-made grandfather clock is an heirloom piece, designed to be handed down from generation to generation. As such, they are made to last over several lifetimes. In fact, some grandfather clocks from the 1700s and 1800s are still in existence today. With such a long lifespan, it is inevitable that grandfather clocks will occasionally need repair.

Like the storied countryside of England, grandfather clocks from that country are rich in history and tradition. The first known pendulum clock was made in 1656. Grandfather clocks got their name in 1875 from a song by Henry Work. Grandfather clocks are also known as longcase or tallcase clocks.

According to e-grandfatherclocks.com, the name “grandfather clock” instantly conjures up images of a dark, musty room, grandpa sitting in his rocking chair, smoking a pipe. Curls of woodsy smelling smoke drift across the room as his faithful old clock strikes the hour. Though the name grandfather is definitely old-fashioned, the clocks aren’t.

e-grandfatherclocks.com will be constantly updated about grandfather clocks to help educate readers about what products and services might be best for them.
