If you are looking for a unique and valuable old timepiece, you should consider acquiring rare and attractive antique anniversary clocks. These are great collectible and gift items that are highly favored by antique clock collectors as well as non-collectors all over the world.

Anniversary clocks, also known as 400-day clocks, were first introduced in Germany in 1880 by a skilled clock maker named Anton Harder. Before the name ‘anniversary clock’ was coined, Harder originally called these magnificent antique clocks as ’400-day clocks’. This is because of their remarkable capability of running for more than a year with just a single winding. 400-day clocks became notable for their distinct clock mechanism. Unlike a 30-hour antique grandfather clock or an 8-day antique mantle clock, anniversary clocks do not require constant winding.

Bowler and Burdock invented the name ‘anniversary clocks’ in 1901. They operate a clock company that is situated in Cleveland, Ohio. Not long after, more clock makers and manufacturers ventured in producing anniversary clocks. They started manufacturing anniversary clocks in large quantities along with other popular types of antique clocks, like the antique wall clocks, bracket clocks, and carriage clocks. At this point in time, the demand for these highly favored collectible clocks has increased steadily.

Schatz and Kundo are two popular German clockmakers who are recognized for their exceptional and elaborate anniversary clock designs. In 1950, almost seventy years after their first inception, anniversary clocks have already gained immense popularity among consumers and serious clock collectors. The growing recognition on old anniversary clocks was directly attributed to their classic appeal, attractive glass dome design, superb time precision, unmatched reliability and precision.

Since then, more collectors have shown interest in acquiring these marvelous antique clocks. Today, interesting, elegant, and prized old anniversary clocks can now be acquired in numerous buying avenues.
