Reproduction Wall Clocks

The hooded wall clock and grandfather clock both developed from the lantern clock, first made during the late 17th century, but did not really develop until the late 18th century with the introduction of the dial wall clock with silvered painted wood and iron dials. They were made as timepieces , some with striking trains, and having fuse spring-driven 8-day movements. This style is still very popular today, often referred to as a school clock, or a station clock, as they were regularly used in public places.

The Vienna regulator attempted to retain the advantages of the weight-drive and long pendulum, whilst reducing the overall height. Factory production of the Vienna style clocks was started in Germany, where most of the clocks found in Britain were made, notably by Gustav Becker and Junghans.

During the Regency period, mahogany cases were sometimes inlaid with brass decoration. Later in the 19th century, dial clocks were factory produced in large numbers with clockmakers only adding their names to the painted faces.
