A New Brand Of Clock: The Manufacturer Of The Daneker Grandfather Clock
While most grandfather clocks are considered antique or old, there are also new clocks that do not have the same reputation of being created centuries ago. At the same time, these still have the same level of prestige and quality that is associated with them. One brand that is known for this particular quality is the Daneker grandfather clock. The elements that are a part of this clock as well as the history that begun the manufacturing process with these particular clocks is one that has stood the test of time and created a heirloom for generations to enjoy.
The Daneker manufacturer company began in the 1960s in Pennsylvania. During this time, the owner, Rutherford Daneker began to have a growing interest in creating a clock that had the best features and mechanisms in it. He studied clock making techniques in both America and Europe as an apprentice, allowing him to compare the different types of craft so that they could be applied to his clocks.
While he was creating and studying the specific make of clocks, he not only studied under the best clock makers, but also gained knowledge on specific brands, such as the Kieninger clocks, Tiffany brands and Waltham makes in order to find out what made a clock tick. Through this journey, the Daneker grandfather clock became the main staple of this manufacturer. The result was a combination of understanding what makes the best out of a clock in both design and function.
Daneker used specific elements in order to ensure that the clock was working at it's best. This began with using fine woods in order to create a stable and elegant look. Many of these clocks are known for their fine cherry wood, that adds in a red wood color to the clock. The wood that was used also included Maple, Pine, Mahogony and Walnut, all which added a certain color, pattern and look to the clock. These would then be treated with ornamentations and carvings, as well as molds, in order to provide more elegance to every clock. Beyond this, Daneker was able to create clocks that, although they still contained the same pendulum elements, were also able to have a more contemporary function to them. Specifically, these were set in place to only have to be reset or wound every 31 days. This worked because of the way that the weight moved the pendulum on the clock. This was combined with moon dials on the top of the clocks, a tradition that Daneker carried through with his specific styles. Despite the newer makes of Daneker, with the rise of the company being in a more contemporary American setting, the clocks are known to have taken the best of traditions and functioning from the clocks in order to make them some of the finest materials. The result is the Daneker grandfather clocks being regarded as some of the sturdiest clocks, with touches of fine craftsmanship added into it.
