Q. Are standing clocks a great investment?

Answer

A standing clock can be a good investment, as long as the item is in original condition. You can either purchase a standing clock from a manufacturer or procure one from an antique dealer. The ones you procure from an antique dealer must be certified and authenticated for originality. It would be a good investment if the clock is in impeccable condition, with all original moving parts and proven ownership record. However, maintaining these clocks is not an easy task. They require attention and regular upkeep, so if you are not up to the task, it is better to buy a new standing clock rather than buy an antique one, as an investment.
