This Morbier grandfather clock is one of my favorites.
A French Morbier Grandfather clock
Morbier Comtoise
I always wanted a Morbier clock in my collection. However, the cases that I saw on most Morbiers were so deteriorated that they were unreasonable. The solution was clear to me when I came upon this Dutch made clock.
Dutch Made
This clock was made in Holland by a small company that manufactures handmade Morbier clocks. This one is not old…..Vintage at best. This was the perfect solution for me. I have a vintage clock with a solid oak case. The real appeal to me is the movement. It is like a miniature ‘tower clock’ movement, over-engineered and as accurate as my jewelers regulator….I love it!
(September 30, 2009) The newer movement is almost identical in design to the early Morbiers.
This simple clock is a design classic in my opinion. I think of it is the VW of clocks, a clock for the people!
