Seiko’s "Stately Oak” is truly the finest traditional chiming wall clock available on the market. It was carefully designed with inspirations drawing from antique grandfather clocks of yesteryear combined with the technological advancements of today, such as optional nighttime silencing and quartz accuracy. Unlike other chiming clocks made today, Seiko timepieces are still manufactured to the absolute highest of standards and produced entirely in-house. “Stately Oak” is encased within a hand-carved dark mahogany-finished solid oak frame with three burl overlays highlighting the bonnet of the clock. The metal dial includes embossed gold Arabic numerals atop a brushed steel chapter ring, and the interior is decorated with an intricate botanical pattern that matches the continuously-swinging lyre pendulum. The clock is equipped with Seiko’s own dual chime movement, which gives you a choice between the classic Westminster or Whittington quarterly chimes accompanied by hour strikes at the top of each hour.
