Grandfather clocks are truly in many ways like human individuals. Each has its own personality, and where it is placed in the home or office, as well as the home decor or office decor surrounding the timepiece, give it a different look and feel. People can make a grandfather clock as much of their life experience as they choose. Most people keep them running continuously, keeping track of time by weekly windings. On special holidays, including New Year's Eve, people will watch the time count down by sitting around the grandfather clock, waiting for the full Westminster Chime or other favored tune, and on the 12th gong, they will ring in the New Year.
