My wife’s parents, both deceased now gave us a couple of old mantle clocks, 20 years ago. Used them for a long time but no longer do so. They knew a man, also deceased, in Caldwell, Ks that rebuilt old clocks. I like them, but can live without the noise.

My wife has a cuckoo clock that she bought in Germany. It lives in a box because something is wrong with it. There is no one on Earth who works on cuckoo clocks. I do, just don't like to. They are way too fiddly, compared to other mechanical clocks.

If you like clocks, Wabi, you should check out the Bily clock museum in Spillville, Iowa. Amazing hand carved wooden clocks. Bily Clock MuseumJerry

A couple of Austrian pre-1900 Gustav Becker clocks. Clean and oil every ten years or so. Keep 'em wound and running. They still keep perfect time.

The abstract artwork behind the pendulums is intriguing. Nice clocks - thanks for sharing.

Doesn't need fixing, needs a home. I don't have room.
I am..........disturbed.

We have a cuckoo clock but I had to silence the “cuckoo” function. 😀
