A traditional grandfather clock


The traditional grandfather clock stands tall against the living room wall. Its heavy brass pendulum swings rhythmically back and forth in a steady pattern. Every single hour, the internal bells ring out a series of deep resonant chimes. Family members glance at the antique clock whenever they need to check the exact time.
