The cases are also made either in the USA (e.g. for for and Ridgeway Grandfather Clocks selection), in Canada (e.g. Bulova Grandfather Clocks) , or Germany (e.g., most all of Hermle Clocks and Kieninger Grandfather Clocks).
There is no doubt that this is a fast changing market, and we forecast that within 5 years we will see more and more imported components from (and other Asian countries), and entire clocks themselves. It is already happening, but the gap in quality means we will not even consider selling them at this time. We expect that to change in the coming years, both by these Companies selling direct in USA, and by the exisiting best manufactures sourcing clocks components from the Far East.
Stay tuned - it is going to be a wild decade, and a wild time for the industry.
