The Hentschel Story

Hentschel Clock Take comfort in knowing the art of handcrafted workmanship is alive and well at Hentschel. Each clock is hand-assembled and hand-finished in seven separate painstaking steps. No assembly line finishes here. We create quality, family heirlooms ...one clock at a time. A Hentschel grandfather clock, with its heritage, adds immensely to its legacy as a family heirloom. Exquisite beauty and harmonious design render any Hentschel grandfather clock a joy to own and pass on from generation to generation.

Building masterpieces of the woodworker’s art and the timekeeper’s science

While others have been constantly looking for ways to speed up production and cut costs, we have been content to continue our hand built tradition, one precious clock at a time, just as we did in 1890. Over the years, our tools and techniques have been modernised but our commitment to Old World craftsmanship and pride our workmanship remains unchanged. We take particular pride in the quality of each clock we make, and for good reason. Every step in the building of our cabinets is performed by our craftsmen to an exacting standard established by our founders over 114 years ago.

Our building process starts with the wood selection. Unlike many of our competitors, all our cabinets are solid wood, and we hand select only the finest aged and cured hardwoods and veneers available. With each step of the shaping, assembly, and finishing, the wood is treated with great care and respect. When you see one of our clocks that care and respect is evident in the luster of the finish and in the inner beauty coaxed out from deep inside the wood. Each Hentschel grandfather clock has a high quality, German design movement. The movement rhythmically chimes the classic cathedral melodies of Westminster, Whittington, or St. Michael.

Heirloom quality

‘Quality cannot be rushed’, that’s one of those old sayings everyone at Hentschel live by.

All our clocks are built at a careful pace, to an exacting standard unparalleled in the industry. Our clocks can take several days of painstaking, labour intensive handcraftsmanship. That care ensures each owner that their clock investment will last generations.

Our history has proven great care built into each Hentschel grandfather clock ensures the timepiece becomes a treasured family heirloom passing from generation to generation within the family. Many of those families find the soothing tick tock and the melodic chimes of their grandfather clock remind them of simpler, unhurried times when family traditions were of great importance.
