Tempus Fugit Grandfather Clocks

My clock says "Tempus Fugit" on the dial:

"Tempus Fugit" is Latin for "Time Flies" and is often embossed on the dials of grandfather clocks, primarily those made between 1950 through 1980.

If you see "Tempus Fugit" positioned above the 12:00 mark, this is typically where a functional moon dial would be found on higher-end clocks. If there is no moon dial present, the clock is likely a lower-end or promotional model. 

If there is no brand name on the dial or one you have never heard of, it is usually promotional or inexpensive clock or a newer Chinese entry level clock.

It’s important to note that the inscription "Tempus Fugit" on the dial does not indicate any specific brand, model, quality, or value of the clock. The phrase is as generic as the numbers on the dial.

Therefore, the presence of "Tempus Fugit" does not serve as an identifier for any clock brand or model. Quality clock manufacturers will usually emboss or print their name on the dial, making it impossible to identify a clock solely by the presence of "Tempus Fugit."
