A grandfather clock with sleek lines and brushed nickel accents becomes a welcome focal point in a contemporary living room. Some are nickel finished with modern case contours and accented dials with finished bezel, markers and hands. Other features you will find: illuminated cases, mirrored backs, nickel finished pendulums, beveled side glass and door pulls. The pendulum, or bob, is crafted for beauty and accurate timekeeping. Traditional pendulum styling adds to the regal looks.
