Antique Clocks for sale

Dear clock enthusiasts. We are launching our antiqueclocksforsale section in July 2010.

Often we receive requests for antique clocks for sale in South Africa. Its always been an ambition of Herman Holtzhausen to fulfill the requests of these customers of ours too.

As in all our offerings we do not offer anything for sale until we know exactly what it is our custmer desires and what it is that we can offer. In these post-colonial times we have found many clocks of unknown origin or value that pass as antiques. To be forthright, we even purchased one of these beautiful clocks and it stands in our lounge. Its not for sale!

After almost 40 years in the clock industry, we have now gained enough experience and have a network second to none, that ensures our customers of only the best pedigreed long case, mantel and bracket clocks and Vienese Regulators. All come with certificates of authentication, ie origin and value.

All the antiques we source come with refurbished movements. This is not a re-built movement. Restoration is an art which seeks the balance between functionality (you do want to purchase an item that functions as it should) and value (you want as much of the original clock in its original condition as possible). To achieve this balance we work with our network of qualified horologists, locally and internationally.

We will offer antique clocks for sale and invite any specific requests.

This Holtzhausen clock is pictured in Blackwood, a timber grown by nature conservation in the Tsitsikamma forest. The swan neck crown is balanced by the two full rounded columns of the hood and another two on either side of the body of the clock. Andes also features solid floating side panels. The Luxus dial features the four cornices with raised borders surrounding the filigree netting, which is repeated in the center of the dial. The brass aluminium roman numerals are laid onto a brass aluminium dial ring, making for an understated luxurious dial. The Hermle cable movement plays the Westminster, Whittington, and St Michael melodies, and has an automatic night silencer option.

Limited to 50 pieces.

Legends and myths about clocks abound. Love is Clockworks is new to me though. When is love like clockworks? Bono sings that “love is like cold steel, to numb to feel. I don’t want to see…”

Clocks the antithesis to emotion. What do you think?
