Are the clocks battery operated? A. No. All our clocks are either “weight-driven”, i.e. three weights operate the mechanism and chimes, or they are conventional “clockwork” mechanism and are wound up using a key. These are identified in the description. Back to top of Page 2) Q. Does the pendulum work or is it just decorative? A. The pendulums on all our clocks are used to regulate the clock so it is fully functional. Back to top of Page 3) Q. Do the clocks chime? A. All the weight-driven clocks have melodic chimes which chime on the hour, quarter, and half hour. These may either be “Westminster” (like Big Ben) or “Whittingham”. The particular chime is listed on the description plus you can click on the link to actually hear the chime. Back to top of Page 4) Q. Are the clocks solid wood? A. All our clocks are constructed from solid wood. The oak clocks are solid oak, the cherry are made of willow which has been stained “cherry”. Back to top of Page 5) Q. Is the colour of the wood shown on the illustrations accurate? A. The illustrations are photographs of the actual clocks. As the material is a natural product each individual clock may vary slightly according to the grain in the wood, plus the setting on your computer monitor may also have an influence. In general, we feel that the colour indicated on the illustrations is accurate. Back to top of Page 6) Q. How soon can I have delivery? A. On receipt of cleared payment (either by personal cheque/bankers draft or by PayPal) delivery is usually within 7 days (excluding weekends & public holidays). Back to top of Page 7) Q. Does the 24123 Clock chime? A. This key wound (clockwork) clock is a more basic model and does not have a melodic chime on the quarter hour. They strike the hour and strike once on the half hour. Back to top of Page 8) Q. How much is delivery to Ireland or to other European destinations? A. Unfortunately we are unable to offer deliveries over-seas at this time. Back to top of Page 9) Q. How do the 'Automatic Night Shut Off Chimes' Work (GMA Models)? A. You simply position a plunger/lever inside the clock to enable the Auto Night Shut Off. This will stop the clock from chiming at 10pm, it will resume chiming at 7am. This is in addition to the main chime on/off switch located on the clock face. Back to top of Page
