Grandfather clock
The “Milan” is simple and slim, yet it has room for everything: a large moon phase dial, a large lyre pendulum and bevelled glass. A traditional look that suits today's homes and offices.
A clock that is yours alone. Wood, finish, colour and melody: we start from this model and finish it together, the way you want it.

How it is made
It is an Italian design: slim, light and well proportioned, with a quiet elegance. We make it in solid American tulipwood, with the flat parts in MDF veneered with Tanganyika. We fit the back after finishing: it keeps the whole case and the mouldings around it stable.
It has a single door, with a lock and glass bevelled by hand all the way round by Giovanni Casella. Our Stefano finishes the case with water-based coats and a semi-gloss walnut nitro top coat. He applies the finish to the whole case at once, so a little more patina stays in the joints.
The Kieninger movement plays the Westminster chime on bells every quarter hour. On the large dial the moon moves one click a day and shows its phases. It is wound once a week by pulling the chains, and one winding can last up to ten days. At night, if you wish, it stays silent from 10 pm to 7:15 am.
