We're very pleased to introduce two more NEW fine clocks to our lineup. The Jugend This is a timeless design built with absolute quality.

The Tristan This one is really fantastic, and we spent a long time in development. It features a German enamel dial and a CAST-BRASS bezel. This clock is leaps and bounds over similar clocks with spun metal dials. It's available in oak or cherry finish.
