Grandfather Clocks Are Icons of Class and Style

The pendulum clock was invented in 1656, but a man named William Clement was the first to design a longcase clock. Clement believed that enclosing his pendulum clock in a wooden case would improve its time-keeping ability since the case would limit air currents' effects on the pendulum's motion. And when Robert Hooke later increased the length of the pendulum to 39.1 inches (which takes precisely one second to oscillate), the seven to eight foot tall grandfather clock was born.

These clocks quickly became status symbols in homes throughout Europe; a family with a grandfather clock was a family worth recognizing. And the same holds true today, for as anyone with a sense of interior decoration knows, grandfather clocks exude an aura of elegance and sophistication.
