Chime clocks are not, by far, a new kind of invention-although there are newer clocks classified as chime clocks that have just lately been designed. The chime clock is a classic and provides a soothing musical addition to your home or office. I have researched out some different types of chime clocks and here are a few designs that I have found:

There are mantel chime clocks that can be used as a mantelpiece, atop a shelf, on a small or on a decorative table. Chime clocks are often made of stained pine wood and, if they are well-maintained, will be with you for long after buying.

A few chime clocks are the larger type, such as floor chime clocks to be set on the floor. They usually stand about six feet and some have pendulums. There are newer designs coming out for these floor clocks where the pendulum is not just a hanging sphere, but perhaps in the shape of an arrowhead or a swirl. I have even seen some mantel chime clocks that had a straight pendulum on them. Nothing at the end--just a straight, heavy, metal hanging piece.

Other larger, floor chime clocks do not have pendulums, some of these chime clocks need a certain amount of winding that functions sort of like window blinds. With these chime clocks, you pull the chain so that the hanging pieces (which hang but are not pendulums) end up at the top of the clock--directly under the timepiece. The chains are lowered gradually as the clock keeps the time and last for around twelve hours before they need winding again. Some come with small pendulums that fall behind the chains--but most of them do not.

Most all chime clocks cannot be found in regular stores, but should be searched for at specialty clock shops.

Many chime clocks are wall pieces ranging widely in size and shape. The wood is stained sometimes--but chime clocks can come painted, too. There are different colors and styles--a few would go perfect in the kitchen, some in the den or living room, some in the study and chime clocks can even add a classy and somewhat elegant look to your office.

Most chime clocks, however, are made from stained wood, some arching at the top, others flat on both top and bottom with a subtle design on the sides. Some are long and slender, while others are shorter and wide--there are many variations. No matter who you are and what your preferences are, you should be able to find a chime clock would compliment your home or office.
