Tom Harris Clocks – “time for the discerning”
The quality of Tom Harris Clocks is achieved by good design practices, using the best available materials and employing a blend of traditional skills with a modern production approach. Resulting in a limited number of hand-built clocks, attracting the discerning customer looking for something unique and special
The design philosophy Tom Harris Clocks is to look at traditional clock styles, which have given pleasure to previous generations, and to translate their qualities and appeal into contemporary looks that will compliment the modern home, office or reception area. A combination of wood, glass and inlays is used in bringing these designs to life and to achieve a contemporary appearance.
Solid hardwoods have a range of colours, grains and finished lustre and when combined with a precision engineered mechanical movement, and transformed into a quality piece of furniture such as a Grandfather/Grandmother longcase floor clock or Vienna style Regulator Wall clock, it becomes an aesthetic, functional and even enchanting acquisition to appreciate; and with appropriate care a future family treasure.
AMS.
AMS wall clocks are a synonym for aesthetics and quality. Precise and reliable movements, the finest selection of high-quality materials and a design carefully planned in detail make these precious Black Forest clocks a class of their own.
THE ELEGANT CLASSICS: Using the very finest materials, these AMS classic clocks give you that feeling of warmth and nature. Intarsia and precious veneers of cherry or walnut, bevelled, fine-polished mineral glasses, fine-milled hands, and a polished satin-matt finish – those are the features that characterize a precious clock at first sight.
However, a look inside the clock will reveal what’s decisive to make you enjoy the clock for a very long time. A high-quality movement, designed and manufactured with the utmost precision, virtually brings the clock to life. The soothing atmosphere of the pendulum movement and the harmonic beat of a Westminster-Chime or Bim-Bam Strike will bring lasting joy to generations.
THE CONTEMPORARY TREND DESIGN: Design comes to life with innovative ideas that make headlines and really present something new. It is therefore with a purpose that the AMS contemporary designs use and experiment with new shapes and materials. The demand to individually design and decorate one’s living environment is, thus, given new impulses.
No matter whether aluminium, glass, acrylic, steel or brass are processed for a variety of surface structures, any AMS contemporary design uses wood as the basic material and thus builds a bridge to tradition and to other decorative elements in your home.
