Savor the tradition of grandfather clocks. Grandfather clocks have been powered by cable driven movements for centuries. Cable driven grandfather clocks use weights suspended by a cable to operate and power the clock and keep time; often made of brass these cable driven clock movements will keep time accurately and faithfully.
A cable driven grandfather clock is wound approximately once a week with a brass crank or key that fits into the dial of a clock, which pulls the weights to the top of the clock – as the weights fall the clock is powered.
