Gary takes us on a tour of the American musical clock exhibit he put together at the Willard House and Clock Museum. This unprecedented grouping of clocks includes almost 40 rare musical clocks that play historical tunes, just as our ancestors heard them.

I dont know if it's just me, but theres something very nostalgic about seeing and hearing an old Grandfather clock, That a Family sat around the clock in the 1700s and 1800s, And we can listening to the same clock today ,And the skill of the man who built it ,The intricate gears and movements without todays advanced modern tools and machinery ,Its Incredible If you think about it

Really an astonishing exhibit. I wish the video were three times as long. Glorious taste, function, craftsmanship. The pinnacle of American design.

Wonderful collection of clocks. I can't imagine how much care must be involved in moving these clocks to the location of the exhibit.

Would love to hear the George Long tall clock with the dulcimer musical movement. Saw it sold at Sotheby's in 2008 for $100K!!!

Wonderful melodies! When these clocks play melodies and strike the hours it is pleasant to hear. Nowadays some quartz clocks electronically imitates the same because they contains electronically recorded and programmed circuit board of sound chips connected to speaker. But they can't beat these real chimes and music-boxes.

Enjoyed this, very much. Such wonderful old clocks, thanks Gary. Wondering if perhaps your Ass't Curator has digitized recordings of these musical movements?

Wish he had played the clock with the comb instead of bells, especially since it was the only one they had. Was it not functional?

It's amazing to see these wonderful (valuable) pieces, but I wonder why so many of the dials look so shabby and stained. Is this mostly just an "American thing" to keep dials ratty rather than have them kept beautifully cleaned and silvered?

@RJSoftware2000 8 жыл бұрын

+sooth15 The dial of the clock is like it's soul. Shabby to some, the mystery time travel to others. The wisdom not to touch up it's testimony is found from those who have learned not to the hard way. Re painted -whited dials are soulless as a plastic Walmart quartz clock. Stripped of truth for eternity.

@sooth15 8 жыл бұрын

RJSoftware2000 I agree that repainted dials are a sin, I was mainly talking about the brass dial clocks which are normally kept with a silvered chapter ring, or full silver if they are flat engraved brass. It's very common on UK clocks to keep the silvering on the dial in good condition, and it really improves the look of the clock as well as the legibility of the numerals when the silvering is in good shape. The first clock shown is a good example of a nicely silvered dial, while some like the one around the 3:20 mark look terrible. The one at 3:30 has no silvering left, and the next one isn't much better, etc.
