When you encounter a grandfather clock chime, you must have experienced traveling back through time when lives were simpler and more carefree, more charmed and comfortable, and less complex than the world you are living in right now. After all, grandfather clocks stand for old traditions that are marked by the stillness of time (even during the periods where time is measured thru the use of sundial ) when the world moves at a slower pace. This article will feature a grandfather clock and how it works in providing you with the correct time periodically.
Because of the accuracy of these clock types, you are treated to a gentler chiming on the hour for every hour.
You will surely prefer that chimes are better and less annoying than alarms. With grandfather clocks, there is no need to set it at the desired time since they will surely sound their periodic or hourly chimes. These clocks are so elegant that they are made so that they will sound a chime out for hours in the day in perfect sequences. Thus, you will hear these chimes at the following times:
On the hour at the exact hour, the full chime will be played followed by the hour strike. If the time is 3 am, then you will hear 3 strikes. If the time is 12 noon, then you will hear 12 strikes.
During the first quarter of the hour or the first 15 minutes after the hour, you will hear a quarter of the entire chime sequence played. During the second quarter or at half past the hour, one-half of the entire chime sequence will be played.
About three-quarters after the hour or 15 minutes before the next hour strikes, three-fourths of the entire chime sequence will be played. With the accurate intervals of the clock chime, their sound alone is enough for you to know about the exact time so you do not have to look at the clock just to have an idea on what time is it. Hearing the chimes are enough for you what time is it. All you have to do is to know the exact chime sequence and you will remember when the last hour strike, you can already tell the time. And you will be gently awakened too. Unlike in alarms, in which the sound they produced are made to wake you up and annoy you so that you will get up immediately to turn them off.
When talking about these sequences, there are at least three common chimes that can be heard from most grandfather clocks. It can also be noted that with the most contemporary models, you can choose among these three chime sequence by flipping a switch or a dial. Wall Clocks Westminster Chime is one of the most famous chimes that are installed in most of these clock types.
So you can choose the clock to chime that you desire based on your mood for today. You can also turn off all the chimes. There are also clocks that play Whittington chimes, St. Michael chimes, and more. You can purchase all of these grandfather clock types at Oh Clocks so try to visit them now.
