Sternreiter has a new poll on its website. We thought we would put it here too. We can learn a lot about our industry if we find out a little more about what consumers want when it comes to fine clocks. Please take a few seconds to answer the following two questions. If you have a website or a store which specializes in selling fine clocks please encourage your customers to fill this out too. Do you have a fireplace with a mantel in your home? Yes No I have a fireplace but need a mantel. I don't want either. Free polls from Pollhost.com Which type of clock could you see purchasing for your home this year? (check all that apply) Grandfather clock (large, floor standing clock) Mission-Style clock (rustic, oak shelf clock) American "Banjo" clock (figure-eight wall clock) Tavern clock (elegant clock, typical for English and American pubs) Cuckoo clock (Black Forest specialty) Free polls from Pollhost.com

Please refer to your black and white specials flyer which you should have received several weeks ago. The following cuckoo clocks are sold out: 1253, 1236, 1279, 1254, 1312, 1382, 1353, 1392, 1336, 8227, 8382, 8345 These clocks are no longer available. As you can see that is most of the clocks on the closeout special. In addition the following models are thinning out. I would highly suggest stocking up on these models so that you are covered for this holiday season. 1300 (only 13 left!), 1100 (only 3 left!), 8252 (only 8 left!), 8228 (only 2 left!), 8366 (only 4 left!), 8255 (only 3 left!), 8357 (only 2 left!) The 8343 is out of stock at the moment but should be in next week. The 1200 and 8200 always go very fast this time of year so be sure you have some in stock.

Unfortunately the our two Sternreiter chiming anniversary clocks won't be available until after Christmas. To make it up to you we are offering blockbuster specials on the two anniversary clocks pictured above. Contact us to find out the details.

The VDS is the organization of Black Forest Clockmakers which meets regularly to vote (upon secret ballot) for the best Black Forest Clock of the Year award .
