Time is very important to us. We all depend on it. Time is used to wake up, to go to school, to work, meetings, appointments etc. When we travel the departure and arrival times are important measurements. Time is also used to measure the duration of all sorts of work like painting and glueing. We need to know how long it takes before an object is dry and ready for use.

The instruments we use to measure time are usually watches and clocks. Watches are the mobile items we do not only carry for time measurements but also for fashion. Clocks are mostly used indoors to decorate homes, stores, offices and factories. The kitchen clock is sold the most, probably because it’s useful for cooking. The living room is space number two. Out of all the clocks sold every year all over the world, the living room clock has a percentage of 42 while the kitchen clock occupies the first place with 53 percent. The left over of 5% is used for bedroom, store, office etc.

Out of the 42% livingroom clocks sold every year, the grandfather clock occupies more than 10%. Despite its higher pricing, grandfather clocks apparently are very popular. Most of these clocks are bought new. Antique grandfather clocks occupy about 1%. The new clocks are mostly bought online. The reasons for this are that its cheaper, faster, more secure and there’s much more choice than offline.

In the past you just went to the biggest warehouse in or near your city to easily select one of the few grandfather clocks they had in store. It was easy to choose simply because there wasn’t much choice. Today it’s much more difficult to make a choice, because the online stock is almost endless. There are now hundreds of styles, shapes, and colors available. On the other hand, buying a grandfather clock online is far less time consuming. So fortunately it’s now much more rewarding to decorate your beautiful home, store, office or factory with a real timepiece that can be handed over to many new generations to come. Thank you Internet!
