Amish Made Whittington Grandfather Clock with Auto Night Silencer

A quiet keeper of time, crafted to be lived with for generations. There are pieces in a home that do more than fill space—they set the rhythm of daily life. The Amish Made Whittington Grandfather Clock is one of those rare pieces. Standing just under six and a half feet tall, its presence is stately without being overwhelming, designed to feel grounded, reassuring, and timeless the moment it enters the room.   From the gentle arc of the bonnet top to the warm glow of solid hardwood, this clock carries the quiet dignity of traditional craftsmanship. Light dances across beveled glass panels, revealing polished brass weights and a gracefully swinging pendulum—subtle movement that brings life and calm to a space. Whether placed in a foyer, study, or living room, the Whittington clock feels less like furniture and more like a trusted companion, marking time steadily and beautifully.

A Look Rooted in Tradition

The Whittington’s design draws inspiration from classic American and European longcase clocks, a form perfected over centuries. Its balanced proportions—79" high, 22" wide, and 12 ½" deep—make it ideal for modern homes while remaining faithful to traditional lines. Turned corner columns, refined molding details, and optional burnished edges add depth and character, giving the clock a softly aged, heirloom appearance from day one.   Shown here in rich Cherry wood, the clock highlights the natural grain and warmth that only solid hardwood can provide. With options ranging from Red Oak to Walnut, Curly Maple, and Rustic Cherry, each clock becomes a personal expression—no two ever exactly alike.

The Sound of Time, Thoughtfully Controlled

At the heart of the Whittington clock is a German‑made, 8‑day cable‑driven triple chime movement, known for its reliability and musical clarity. You can choose between three historic chimes, each with its own character:

• Westminster – Familiar and stately, famously heard from Big Ben
• Whittington – Rich, resonant, and celebratory
• St. Michael’s – Deep and reverent, with cathedral‑like presence

A moving moon dial adds both visual interest and historical charm, originally used to help households track lunar cycles. For modern living, the clock includes both a manual chime silencer and an automatic night shut‑off, ensuring peaceful evenings without sacrificing tradition.

A Brief History of the Grandfather Clock

Grandfather clocks—also known as longcase clocks—date back to late 17th‑century England, made possible by the invention of the anchor escapement, which allowed for tall, accurate timepieces. Over time, they became symbols of stability, craftsmanship, and prosperity, often passed down through families as treasured heirlooms.   The term “grandfather clock” itself became popular after an 1876 song titled “My Grandfather’s Clock,” forever linking these clocks with memory, family, and the passage of generations. Today, an Amish‑made grandfather clock continues that legacy, blending centuries‑old design with modern precision.
