Seth Thomas Clocks- guide to everything Seth Thomas
The oldest clock maker in America, Seth Thomas has been hand crafting intricate clocks of all kinds since 1813. For nearly 200 years, this clock maker has been creating unique styles for home and commercial design use. Well-respected in the industry, a Thomas clock can be a new investment or a time-honored heirloom passed through the generations.
Grandfather clocks are truly the Thomas legacy, although they currently produce every size and shape known to man practically. Their line of clocks includes every size and shape you can imagine. They make mantel clocks, wall clocks, table top clocks, and of course, grandfather clocks. They make travel clocks, alarm clocks, nautical clocks, and more. Truly, this is a versatile company that can make a timepiece for any occasion.
They also have produced some of the country's oldest tower clocks, including the one in Grand Central Station in New York City. Today, you'll find the Thomas collections to range from traditional, historical styles to modern, posh themes with contemporary stylistic choices. These include brushed metals, colorful resins, and aged finishes, just to name a few.
Seth Thomas's modern products feature a revolutionary clock technology called AUTOSET. This feature allows your clock to automatically adjust to Daylight Saving Time (DST) as it begins and as it ends. Older clocks, while they don't have this feature, can be serviced by authorized professionals for time changing or repair needs. Dealers across the country can help you find a certified Seth Thomas repair person.
