You can enjoy some of the great melodies of grandfather clock chiming during the day and then set them for automated shutoff at night. Case designs are just as appealing and range from graceful curves and irons to traditional uprights and contemporaries with slender profiles. Don't let the chiming of your ornate floor clock wake you when you have it set for silence during your sleeping hours. It's easy to set the switch for silence when you want it. The silencing option is a great feature for many homes.
