Quartz Mantel Clocks (Battery Operated with Chimes)

Quartz mantel clocks are practical as they are reasonably priced and never require winding. They are the most accurate and most do have a chime feature. Movements usually last about 20 years without maintenance except for changing the battery every year. Movement replacement is also very reasonable.

You may also turn the chime off, adjust the volume and many models offer a choice of chime melodies. Want to listen to the chimes? The chime samples on our site are the actual chimes that are played from the movement of the clocks. Always use Duracell brand batteries in a quartz mantel clock. These will last longer and even the chimes will sound better.

If you see a clock that offers a "Harmonic Movement", these are clocks with an incredible new chime system that sounds great!

Keywound Mantel Clocks (windup, completely mechanical)

Keywound Mantel clocks usually need to be wound about once a week and many refer to these as "8-day clocks" though they need to be wound once a week. Most have Keywound mantel clocks need to be wound weekly and have an acoustic chime by hammers that strike tuned rods inside the clock. Movements are made in Germany and these clocks will last generations if proper maintenance is performed. These Mantel clocks need oiling every few years and the movements should be cleaned at least every 10 years. The value of these clocks may increase over time if the clock is properly maintained and serviced. These are mechanical so you may need to adjust the time a little each week when you wind the clock.
