Where can I find info on "grandfather" type, pendulum, chiming clocks?
 
Switzerland is the place to go...
Or some other place with 1000s of years of history.

[now for my more helpful] suggestion:
Try a search of the net, or look in your Yellow Pages (do you lot have those in the USA, Earth?)

I've got a fancy clock question too:

Does anyone know where I can get these 'joke' wall clocks that have a combination of the hands moving the wrong way, the hands doing the wrong things or some other strange thing.

Al

P.S.
My Grandparents have loads of old fashioned clocks inc. two grandfathers and a smaller grandmother. Every clock in their house chimes at a slightly different time no matter how often you check 'em. 'cos you gotta check 'em all!
They've got a cookoo clock to die for - the little bird sings using bellows and reeds. It's very old, and I used to watch it for hours cos each hour does different things...

Here's a more specific question, then. Anyone know of a pendulum clock that I can select a range of hours to not chime? I'd like one that chimes in the day, but shuts up when I tell it to.
 
Looks like I might have to settle for one that shuts off between 10pm and 7:15am.
