It’s intriguing isn’t it, not simply do antique wall clocks help you stay right on time, they also possess the capability to take you back to times gone by.

Can you remember for example, your old school reloj control clock? I remember my own, a large clock with a faded white face, roman numerals, a wood frame and whenever I shut my eyes I can imagine around me, the school desks, the chat of my school friends, the sunshine streaming through the window, funny just how that always happens whenever the memories are good!

Or how about the clock in your kitchen area when you were you were young, I recall that too, a smallish wooden one that sat on a ledge, I can easily bring it to mind now as I hear my Mum pottering about in the kitchen.

My grandparents had this amazing grandfather clock that used to chime on the hour and on the half hour, you never needed to actually look at the clock to know exactly what time it was. It was an excellent specimen of an antique, made from walnut I think, we still have it in the family but I can even now imagine my grandparents if I shut my eyes and let myself drift back in time.

The memories are endless and very vivid, after all, how many times each day do we look at a clock!

There are various different types of clocks available today, digital clocks, large clocks, atomic clocks and of course there are so many beautiful vintage clocks available, however these generally come along with quite a large asking price.

However, you don’t need to pay a top price to recreate your memories, as all types of antique clocks come as a reproduction at a fraction of the price of an original antique.

I wish you well in your clock search. You might want to start in auction web sites as there are always antiques and vintage wall clocks being offered on eBay for example and I was quite surprised to find out recently that Amazon provides a large selection of modern clocks and reproduction clocks.
