I like the sound of them.

they are ok.

Yes.

I had to check the name online - I had no idea what those are. We, Poles, call those just standing clocks

Absolutely. Love the ornate detailed design, their almost haunting chime, the gentle tick of the pendulum. My late uncle had a few in his home and he actually made a few clocks.

I love grandfather clocks. I love the old world charm and grandeur about them.

I have one but it has been years since I've wound it.

I have loved grandfather clocks since seeing one on Captain Kangaroo in the form of Grandfather Clock


Also, along the line of spooky mystery, there was the Dick Van Dyke episode The Great Petrie Fortune (S5,E7)
Rob's uncle Hezekiah leaves him a roll top desk containing a fortune, along with a will in the form of a sound 16mm film. In the film, uncle Hezekiah performs Me and My Shadow. There is a photo in the roll top desk of uncle Hezekiah as a baby. It is framed, and the frame covers the outer edges. In the photo is a grandfather clock, and figure in the background. When they remove the frame, the figure turns out to be Abraham Lincoln, and the initials M.B. are at the bottom of the picture. A Matthew Brady photo of Lincoln and his baby uncle. The clock as always been memorable.



I've always wanted a grandfather clock. I suspect they are a nightmare to move though.
