Incomparable workmanship. Unsurpassed quality. A quest for perfection. It's what Howard C. Miller insisted on when he founded the company back in 1926, at the age of twenty-one. Even then, Howard Miller understood the need to create products that would be steeped in quality and value. He expected nothing less than the best. And it was only under those strict conditions that he allowed his name to grace every clock manufactured in Zeeland, Michigan. Howard Miller was schooled in the fine art of clock making by his father, Herman, in the Black Forest region of Germany. Howard developed into a visionary whose keen sense of innovation spawned a tradition of excellence that has been uncompromised through three generations. While the early years focused on the manufacture of chiming wall and mantel clocks, Howard Miller also produced trend-setting avant- clocks that stand today in collectors’ galleries. During World War II, Howard Miller joined forces with the Ford Motor Co. to produce anti-aircraft covers. In the 1960’s the company turned its attention to grandfather clocks, eventually earning the company the title of “World’s Largest Grandfather Clock Manufacturer. In 1989, Howard Miller began creating collector’s cabinets with the same attention to detail and craftsmanship inherent in their clockmaking. Fashioned from glass and hardwoods, the cabinets are ideal for displaying heirlooms, plates, glassware and other collectibles. As part of the company’s continuing effort to bring customers only the best in handcrafted products, Howard Miller recently acquired three companies. The Heckman Furniture Company produces a strong cadre of carefully sculpted hardwood pieces that range from 18th and 19th Century reproductions, to contemporary products featuring fine metals and exotic woods. The Woodmark Company makes fine upholstered pieces. And the exquisite movement in every clock we offer is made by Old World craftsmen employed by the Kieninger Company of Germany. While Howard Miller products might once have been primarily considered as gifts for weddings, anniversaries and retirements, the company’s expanded line of offerings is enticing more and more buyers who simply desire quality timepieces and furniture in their homes and businesses – no occasion required.

The Rombach and Haas Black Forest Clock Factory was founded in 1894. For the location they chose an old farmhouse in the middle of the town Schonach. Schonach later became a center for Cuckoo Clock production in the Black Forest and has remained so to the present. In the early years, manufacturing Cuckoo Clocks did not generate enough income to live so the early clock makers had to rely on the sale of food stuffs to make ends meet.
The clock making business slowly grew into a viable business as they produced more and more of these special clocks. In the beginning of the 20th century the company produced only wall clocks. Both World Wars brought production temporarily to a stop. Over the years the company has earned an excellent reputation for the high quality of their Black Forest Clocks.
