Pre-WWII New Haven 8-Day Secretary Striking Clock A Piece of Horological History

Up for auction is a breathtaking vintage 8-day secretary striking clock, crafted by the esteemed New Haven Clock Company. This exquisite timepiece is not just a clock - its a tangible piece of history, whispering stories from an era when craftsmanship was revered, and time was measured by the steady heartbeat of a mechanical movement.

Manufactured before World War II, this clock hails from the golden age of American clockmaking, when New Haven Clock Co., founded in 1853, was a dominant force in horology. With roots reaching back nearly two centuries, this company survived fires, economic turmoil, and global conflict, yet continued producing timepieces of remarkable beauty and precision.

This particular model showcases a rich wooden case, adorned with stunning Roman numerals and a gracefully detailed decorative glass panel featuring a gold-coloured floral motif. The intricate designs transport you to an era when homes were filled with objects of refinement and function, meant to be admired across generations.

Even more remarkable - it still runs!!!. The rhythmic chime of its striking mechanism evokes a deep nostalgia, reminiscent of evenings spent by candlelight, where families relied on the ticking of the clock to mark the passage of time.

Adding to its rarity, this clock retains its original winding key, ensuring its mechanical movement operates just as it did decades ago. To maintain its longevity, it would be a great idea to have the clock professionally serviced - a small investment to preserve the integrity of its intricate workings and ensure flawless timekeeping for years to come.
