    Learn More About Vintage Clocks

    On Etsy, clocks are regarded as vintage if they’re at least 20 years old. When shopping for vintage clocks from Etsy’s sellers, you can find antique and vintage wall clocks, desk clocks, and other classic timepieces in many styles, types, and designs. Choose a vintage clock to add old-fashioned charm to your home decor, give one as a timeless gift to friends and family, or discover the perfect addition to your vintage clock collection.

    You’ll find all kinds of vintage clocks from the shops on Etsy. These are just a few examples of popular styles to help you turn back time:


    • Mantel: Mantel clocks are small, portable, and designed to sit on a mantelpiece, table, or other flat surface. Vintage mantel clocks come in a variety of styles and case designs such as tambour, round-faced with tapered sides; steeple, triangular-shaped, resembling a church steeple; art deco, geometric and sleek; and skeleton, case-free with an open frame to show the clock’s movement.
    • Cuckoo: Cuckoo clocks originated in Germany in the early 18th century and feature moveable figurines such as birds, other animals, and people. Usually made of wood in a chalet-style design, vintage cuckoo clocks feature a pendulum that strikes upon the hour with a “cuckoo” sound.
    • Grandfather: These tall, free-standing clocks are powered by weight-driven pendulums and often feature decorative and ornate wooden designs. Grandfather clock pendulums usually swing with a distinctive “tick tock” sound to count the seconds and chime upon the hour.
    • Alarm: A vintage alarm clock helps to alert you at a certain time. The earliest alarm clock dates back to the year 725, but its design has evolved considerably over the centuries. Vintage flip clocks and clock radios are among the most popular types of retro-style alarm clocks.
