The Madison Mantel Clock by Seth Thomas has a striking regal oak finish wood with beautifully detailed inlay border. It features an oval crystal opening and a white dial with raised Roman chapter ring. Below the dial you can see the polished gold-tone pendulum swinging. This clock plays Westminster or Whittington chimes hourly. Requires one C battery (not included).
The name Seth Thomas is symbolic of value and excellence of craft, as a result of the variety of sophisticated styles it has produced since 1813. As the longest established clock maker in the United States (nearly 200 years), Seth Thomas is recognized as one of the most respected brands of clocks in the world.

About Seth Thomas / Colibri
There are thousands of Seth Thomas clocks in American homes today, often passed down through generations. The company also produced one of the most recognizable icons in the world, the four-sided opal faced clock in the center of New York's Grand Central Station. All are a testimony to the industrious and ingenious nature of their namesake.
Twenty-two-year-old Seth Thomas bought out his boss in 1807, just three years after being hired as a grandfather clockmaker in the Plymouth Hollow, Conn., shop. This set a precedent of ambitious growth that would continue throughout his career. Within a decade, Thomas had built a thriving concern by keeping his finger on the pulse of popular demand and industry technology. When his sons took over the business in 1860, many new styles were introduced. Just a few of the innovations: Spring driven clocks, perpetual calendar clocks, chime clocks and electric clocks. Seth Thomas (now owned by the Colibri Group) embarks on its third century in business firmly rooted in reverence for and preservation of the traditional but constantly evolving to meet the future.
