Let Freedom Ring

Nothing sounds cooler than the sound of freedom ringing out. Ask those who were present when the Berlin wall fell and they’ll tell you the same. Well, nothing except the perfect crafted Grandfather Clock. My grandparents had one, the house where Grace and Emms go for day care has one (that sounds unbelievably cool) and I’d love to have one one day. I’ve been doing a lot of looking lately at the quality of clocks being made today and I haven’t found many that compare to the quality of Howard Miller clocks.

One in particular, the Howard Miller Reagan Grandfather Clock is a striking clock that would look good in any living room (formal or not) or dining room and would ring out with the sounds of freedom that Regan championed during his terms in the White House. Its a nice rich dark cherry color that has the feel of a presidential clock through out. The intricate carving and tones make it all the more valuable and its easy to see why it has such a hefty price tag.

In looking at the clocks, I also came across a rather informative article on choosing the right clock for a gift. The post has several good points which I hadn’t considered and which actually led me away from the Grandfather clock as a gift in favor of a newer alarm clock for the time being. Maybe some day we’ll get that grandfather clock. Maybe.
