Hello, great channel. I have a question

Many people feel the Seth Thomas Clock with the Sonoran nesting bells in it sounds the best. Seth Thomas felt so strongly about the sound they personally bought the patent from the Sonora Company for use in certain of their clocks which were only made for about 20 years.
I personally just like an old pre-1900's clock of just about any brand which has a clunky strike sound (and does so very quickly) to be the best. It drives most people crazy, but it just sounds like an old clock is supposed to sound to me. Many of the old "kitchen clocks" had such a sound.
I definitely agree with you man!
I enjoyed your video. So soothing to listen to your clocks. My opinion the best clock that you have on your wall is the Howard Miller 612-533 Regulator. Probably the best regulator that has ever been made. Perfect for any home and it has the best chime.
Thank you for your comments!
I like the Seth Thomas. It was fun to hear them all -- thanks!
BasBleu02 me to
I also like the Seth Thomas too.
I’ve been watching your beautiful collection for almost 5 years!
Thanks so much for being a longtime supporter!!
You’re welcome
Also my favourite clock is 613226
Seth Thomas is my favorite clock and I am considering on getting this clock 🕰
Please feel free to check out my channel and find the video that reveals the winner as this contest ended over a month ago. Thanks for voting though!
@0:46 I’ve got one of those. The hammers needed readjusted. - several of your clocks need the hammers adjusted and it’s easy to do. Especially that first one. Before the mantle clock. - I like that unknown mantle clock.
I have a dream to gathering antique clocks.....love so much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
6:56 my grandparents have a that clock and yea it has issues, it’s pretty sad but before it broke it sounded amazing
New Howard Miller Mantle Clock is the best for me! I love your videos! 😊
Thank you for the support. Which Howard Miller clock are you voting for? The Sandringham, the 613226, the regulator, or the Worthington
@@ogClockTV Worthington
Ok!
In a clock chime I want a clean sounding chime. Some of these clock chimes are either too hurried or they have a palsy or a distracting sleigh bell sound. My favorites (for chiming function) are the Ridgeway, Howard Miller, and Sandringham chimes in that order. For my own taste the Westminster chime speed in an indoor clock should be set so that the sixteen bells at the first quarter ring about 16 or 17 seconds.
Of course I know that the Big Ben clock tower quarter chimes are faster. They are utilitarian and not designed so much for aesthetic appeal that indoor clocks would have.
Thank you for this beautiful video!
You are a collector like me - but it's clear I don't know as much as you do. Your wide array of clocks looks like my dining room! LOL! They're fun! I have 70 or so total, but only 20 are chimmers. I have about 15 Anniversary clocks. All are second-hand from estate sales, The Goodwill, etc. I have learned a lot in their individual repairs and have spent a shit load on batteries. My most recent $20 purchase is a Howard Miller wall/pendulum with a beautiful wood carved outer case. Put 2 new D batteries in, fixed the wire for the chime.....but.....the hands stop working after 35 minutes! Why would a seemingly brand new clock have a bad Quartz movement already? Your kindness in answering this is very much appreciated. Thank You ♡
Thank you for the support. Also to answer your question:
I have not studied much on battery operated Westminster chime clocks but what I think you should do is at least purchase a new movement and read the instructions on how to get the movement in. I wish I could give you some better info and I apologize about that.
Thank you.

@@ogClockTV .... Wow! Thank you for your time..... (was that a pun?) LOL! I have some spare parts, big hands, little hands, etc., I got it to work! Something's up with the post that the hands push onto.....it's working now for 2 hours.....Thanks for your reply - most appreciated. Merry Christmas!

@@dungynguyent1805 HI Dungy, what kind of a response is this? What are those icons or those symbols?
If you're curious, these are Emojis
Cool clocks, I picked up a regulator today from a thrift shop for $6. I say Regulator
Wow what a steal!
The last clock is my favourite
Howard miller worthton mantle clock
Your collection is awesome! They sound beautiful.
Thanks!
My family had an emperor clock just like at 1:18 when I was growing up (still do have it) very nostalgic for me. (something's up with the chimes in yours)
I love the sound of the unknown triple Chinese on the boat when starts chiming the sound is so beautiful ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💓💓💕💕💕💗💗💗😁😁❤️❤️
I like the
Sandringham
I do too man lol
Ridgeway Clock sounds like the Famous Regulator
I think all of the ridgeways sound like the regulator.
I pick Sandringham by Howard Miller It has no votes and it NEEDS LOVE
Some very nice clocks but you need to adjust the hammers on some. They are not rebounding from the rods on strike and makes the chime sound flat due to a loss of resonance
How do you adjust the hammers?
It depends somewhat on the clock. But most of the ones there can be adjusted by just bending the arm of the hammer up just a bit to be sure the hammer impacts the bar or gong and returns to a position about 1/16 from the bar or gong after sounding. Some clocks have an adjustment screw that moves the hammer arms back and forth as it is turned. These are more common on older European made Grandfather clocks.@@oneitalia2312
Love the hac clock where did you get it
Lovely chimes
I agree with some of the others in the comments, I like them all. I'm more into the antiques than the more modern, but yet have some Howard Millers and other more moderns as well. No Ridgeway but it sounded good, need to get some. At present I have between 2 and 3 hundred clocks! Yup, I like clocks. Not all mechanical, not all Westminster, twenty something anniversary clocks, thirty or so cuckoos. Did I say I like clocks? Nice comparison, thanks.
That's very cool. Thank you
The Unknown triple chime mantel clock is made by the Westminster Clock Company.
I didn’t know that was a clock company
Well can you change the title of that clock?
I really like the regulator and the Seth Thomas but over all they all have nice chimes
The second one has bouncing hammers, which you can improve somewhat by increasing the space between hammer and chime bar (at rest.)
Different hammer pads can change the 'attack' portion of each note rather radically; some of your older clocks probably have leather pads that have hardened over the years, and these are best replaced with plastic pads.
On an old tambour (hump-back) mantel clock the bottom panel of the clock comprises the sounding board. These were thus made thinner and of a different wood than the remainder of the case, with the result that after a hundred years or so the glue that holds the edges of that bottom panel will fail, typically leaving the board attached with the original finishing nails. Alternatively, the bottom/sounding board will crack, typically right down the middle. About the best repair is to run wood glue around the perimeter of the bottom board and also into any cracks, though if the crack is really bad the board should likely be replaced. After the glue dries you'll find that the sound of your tambour clock is much improved.
Ok thanks for the info
Nice antiques clock
No title should be: let's see which clock sounds like in fnaf 4
I like the grandfather clock at the start of the video, although the Seth Thomas as always had a nice set of chimes also. Do you know where I can get a good set of rod chimes. I have a modern Hermle that had a dumpy set of chimes (toy piano sound) which I replaced with some extra junk chimes from a clock repairman which now sound beautiful, after retuning them. I have a triple chime grandmother with the later "toy piano" rods. I think the steel or bronze they use today is softer than many years ago, and so not as resonent. Thanks, Mike
Thank you for watching! I think the best place to get chime rods is eBay. Thank you for asking as well.
I like the Howard miller regulator but it becomes new 😊
Looking for info on a seth Thomas clock I inherited. All I've found is seth Thomas, the clock # is 484 and it's from the fleet series. It's 23 inches tall has 3 keys. Do You know what clock I have ?
A grandfather?
I like the new ones. What are you gonna do?
I would love hearing the Seth mantle clock each hour every hour every day. Yes. Wish I could afford a wind up clock like that. I have a battery pendulum Howard Miller. The Seth reminds me of the mantle clock mom had.
Nice
You can afford one. Keep looking around people let these clocks go for a song sometimes. I’ve bought at least eight of them and none more than $35. I would not want to sell them for so little personally.
The best to worst
1. Howard miller regulator
2. Colonial grandfather clock
3. Ridgeway
4. HM 613 226
5. Canadian triple chime
6. Howard miller worthington
7. Seth thomas
8. Emperor grandfather clock
9. HAC
10. Hm Sandringham
I would love to come to your shop just to take a nap. All that ticking and ticking would put me right to sleep
Lol
I love the sounds of all the clocks
the unknown German clock sounds the best and i subscribed to you
I agree
Agreed
The last one was nice and the one behind the Seth Thomas was awesome,but Seth has to be my fave. Also, the one with the most votes last time...seriously. I guess it would be better than no chimes at all. Oh the withdrawals!!
I like all the clocks!
I love Clock sound
Hey love seeing all the clocks do you repair them got a few clock that need work on work keeps good time but dose not chine
I am just a beginner at repairs. I'm not a full on expert just yet.
Gotta have the perfect ones!😃
I like the grandfather Clock
The Howard Miller Regulator chime has always been a favorite of mine.
Mine to

You Forgot about the Quartz Westminster Chime Clock😂😂
Colonial grandfather clock
My favorite is the German double arbor Westminster clock. So beautiful,
It’s pretty rare
It is. I’ve seen a few wall clocks with this feature, a few by lenzkirch, and a few by Gustav Becker.
I believe mine is made by Junghans
I like the Howard miller regulator and the howard miller wortytam

I like the seth thomas clock and the colonial grandfather clock. I also hearing the colonial grandfather clock in the background. Sounds like the sandrinhgam clock has one hammer that’s not hitting the chime rod.
+Clock TV I wonder, out of all the clocks you sample, which Whittington and Saint Michael's chimes sound best in 2021?
I have a new Sandringham clock and all the hammers need to readjusted as they are striking and staying on the chimes. Simple enough fix for a clock I bought for $70. Haven’t readjusted them yet as I have others needing adjustment also.
Cool
Acompanho desde o início dos vídeos e parabéns pela evolução 👏👏👏🕰🕰🕰

All of the Westminster chime clocks sound nice
it’s a different person that’s why it has new clocks
Seth Thomas Tambour Mantel Clock
Perfect clocks
Thx!
A slight clue, if you talk when the clock is striking you cant hear it chime
Oh yeah! Sorry about that!
I like your grandfather clocks
And mantel and wall
I like the Howard miller
my favorite clock is the regulator
I like your clocks
I liked the ridgeway mantle clock and Howard Miller regulator
Rod chimes always sound better than tubular "bell" chimes. Tubular chimes sound tinny and resinate a long time after being struck.
Some of your rod chime clocks the hammers are out of adjustment, some hit too hard, or too soft.
A few rods are flat sounding and need to be restaked.
Floor clocks have longer rod chimes and sound richer.
I don’t have any tubular bell clocks but I gotta say the rods sound way more clear.
I have to say the seth thomas mantel clock.
Triple chime mantle clock is my favorite
I think I liked the last one best.
Wow that is a lot of clocks on the main wall of the shop
Good ☺☺☺😉😉😉❤❤❤❤
1:40 my favorite which is the Seth Thomas clock
When I’m a child and I’m see clocks : oh I’m know what it is I’m love it
My brain when I’m was child : hmmm clocks make by clocks?
Me now : oh I’m. Love clocks
My brain now : oh they are all make by Poop woods
Can one compare a mantle with grandpa?? I think the most gorgeous is Keinzle, but for this, I lost track. The German clock is GORGEOUS! I had a Revere that died and instead of getting it fixed, I thought I would buy another and the woman on Ebay totally ripped me off. I'm waiting for Ebay to refund me so I can purchase another as I'm having total 15 minute chimes withdrawals.
I picked the Howard Miller Worthington. The chimes remind me of The tempus fugit mantel clock that I have because the chimes sound just alike back when it was working. My parents gave it but it's still broken. But I choose the Howard miller Worthington
That’s very cool. Thanks for voting!
I like the clock basement shop
And I like the triple chime mantel
loved them all but liked the worthington the best
I prefer the Grandfather Clock because I play FNAF 4 and the chiming soothes my anger.
Is the Ridgeway mantel clock a bracket clock? By the way, can you maybe tell me what a bracket clock is? I saw something on Wikipedia, but I don’te really understand it.
Yes the Ridgeway is a bracket clock. But unfortunately I just read that Wikipedia article and didn’t really make sense as the clocks shown were made way before Howard Miller was in business
I like the Seth Thomas
those chime clocks are gooooooooooooooooooood
i like clocks and there good
Just watched the video. I love clocks and have several. To me, the Seth Thomas wins by a landslide. Is it for sale?
I unfortunately am not selling clocks. Sorry.
4:01 What's the difference?
unmarked German mantle clock sounds the best
I always wonder is your regulator one sale or no
Triple chime one sounds like best
The emperor grandfather is cooler than other Clocks
The howard miller regulator and ridgeway bracket have the same sound
I like a clock to have a melodious chime. I have a couple Korean made clocks that keep excellent time but the chime is a bit harsh for my liking. Same with the bim bam chimes. The grandfather clocks are in a class by themselves. I really can't compare them to mantel or wall clocks. That's like comparing a Lincoln to a Volkswagen. That being said, I have some mantel clocks that are a pleasure to listen to. When they stop chiming you hear the sound fade away like a tuning fork. Those are awesome!
That sounds like a toy piano
It's so nice
Hello clocktv I like your clocks
Seth Thomas and unknown German get my vote.
CHIME CHIME CHIME CHIME CHIME CHIME CHIME CHIME CHIME CHIME CHIME CHIME HEATHER HAYS!
