William Towne has been  building Grandfather clocks for over forty years in his small, one man shop in upstate New York. He now confines his work to the reproduction of eighteenth and nineteenth century clocks of museum quality. Each clock is meticulously created from fine cabinet woods such as mahogany, walnut, cherry and curly maple, finished with hand applied period finish and  fitted with a high quality weight-driven movement. These clocks already grace many homes in the United States and will be passed along for generations.

The eighteenth century clock-makers built clocks one at a time making each case unique. William Towne creates his clocks in this manner after the styles of the Chippendale and Federal period. . All are unique, signed and dated.
