Designed as a piece of fine furniture, a grandfather clock is an exceptional addition to any home and can become an heirloom over time. The first grandfather clocks were made in England more than three centuries ago and were originally given the name of a longcase or tall-case clock. It is generally accepted that the name grandfather clock was taken from a song written in 1876 entitled "My Grandfather's Clock." Many attribute the terms "grandfather, "grandmother," or even "granddaughter" clock as a reference to the overall height of the clock case. The tallest examples at 6 feet and over are known today simply as a grandfather clock.

In addition to being tall, grandfather clocks are all similar in design and are a striking clock. They sound out the hours with a hammer striking a series of tubular chimes to produce the sounds. A swinging pendulum is typically displayed through a glass door frame on the front of the clock, though some are solid wood with no glass windows or doors. Grandfather clocks need to be wound and use a spring and counterweight system to keep the time.

A grandfather clock is both elegant and functional. It tells the time and also tells a story. Grandfather clocks appear in the finest homes around the world and are often passed down from one generation to the next.
