I found the most magical old fashioned clock store in Cookstown, Ontario called Timepiece. You feel as though you have stepped back into time when you enter the store and there are clocks all over the place. Everywhere you look there is something new to discover. Bogdan has a wealth of knowledge about clocks and watches and will explain everything you need to know.
I had called in around 3 weeks ago and he showed me a mantle clock and I loved it right away, but wanted dh to see it to see what he thought. We finally got to the store on Saturday and the clock was still there.
The clock is British and from the 1930's. It has a Westminster chime and chimes on the quarter hour and hour. It is such a lovely chime, so delicate. The detail on the woodwork is lovely. Even the ticking is so relaxing.

My granny had a very similar clock on her mantle piece - wow that takes me back to when she was alive. It's a beautiful piece, enjoy it!
Beautiful! I love the ticking of a quality clock - so relaxing...
it is gorgeous!
That is a beautiful clock...I sometimes miss the sound of one ticking.
I hope Betsy is home to stay and that she is truly fixed.
Happy Anniversary Gill! I wish both of you many healthy and happy years together. The clock is lovely. I think you have chosen a very nice gift for yourself.
I love our Antique Kitchen clock and Grandfather's clock. This one you got is priceless ... what a beauty you choose, Gill. A heirloom to be passed down to the children in years to come. x

Happy Anniversary! Love the mantle clock. I wish we had a mantle and could have a clock like that.
It's perfect! Your kitchen surface is lovely, too. Happy Anniversary!
Clocks make such wonderful anniversary gifts, we got one for my grandparents for their 50th wedding anniversary!
