Chime clocks are not, by far, a new type of design-though there are more modern clocks categorized as chime clocks which have recently been designed. The chime clock is a classic and provides a soothing musical addition to your house or workplace. I have searched out a few different kinds of chime clocks and below are a few styles that I have found:

There are mantel chime clocks that could be used as a mantelpiece, on top of a shelf, on a small or on a decorative table. Chime clocks are generally made from stained pine wood and, if they are well-maintained, will probably be with you for long after purchasing.

Some chime clocks are the larger type, such as floor chime clocks to be set on the floor. They usually stand about six feet and a few have pendulums. There are more sophisticated designs developing for these floor clocks in which the pendulum is not only a hanging ball, but perhaps shaped like an arrowhead or a swirl. I have even seen some mantel chime clocks that had a straight pendulum in it. Nothing at the end--only a straight, heavy, metal clinging piece.

Other larger, floor chime clocks do not have pendulums, a few of these chime clocks require a certain amount of winding which works sort of like window blinds. With these chime clocks, you pull the chain so that the hanging pieces (that suspend but they are not pendulums) end up at the top of the clock--directly under the clock. The chains are lowered slowly as the clock maintains the time and last for about twelve hours before they need winding again. Some come with small pendulums that fall behind the chains--but many of them do not.

Most chime clocks cannot be obtained in ordinary shops, but ought to be sought at specialty clock shops.

Many chime clocks are wall pieces ranging widely in size and shape. The wood is stained at times--but chime clocks may be found painted, also. There are various shades and patterns--some would go perfect in the kitchen, some in the den or living room, a few in the study and chime clocks may also give a classy and somewhat stylish look to your workplace.

Most chime clocks, however, are made of stained wood, some arching at the top, others flat on both top and bottom with a subtle design on the sides. Some are long and slender, while some are smaller and broad--there are several variations. Regardless of what you do and what your tastes are, you should be able to find a chime clock would compliment your home or workplace.
