At Ridgeway, our first commitment is to quality and craftsmanship. Everything we do in constructing our timepieces is carefully and skillfully done to assure that you have the finest clock possible. Our reputation stands behind each Ridgeway clock we make.
We begin with the best designs from the best designers, who know art and are familiar 
with the various periods and styles of furniture you may have in your home, and who bring that knowledge and skill into designing beautiful, heirloom quality timepieces.
After selecting the finest hardwoods and veneers from pre- selected samples, Ridgeway's skilled craftsmen begin cutting to design specifications the individually shaped components of each clock's cabinet. The inset panels of the cabinetry are then carefully hand fitted flush to the clock's door frame or side panels.
Special attention is given to the clock's crown. 
Each section is sanded to a smooth surface and then inspected. The cabinet and the crown are then carefully assembled. Each clock cabinet at this stage is pre-tested for the precise placement of each individual part, including the movement and dial assembly.
The important, detailed finishing process now begins. Each clock can have as many as 18 finishing steps of hand rubbing the wood to a deep, rich patina, and then waxing.
Every inch of the clock receives this personal attention.
Ridgeway clock doors are built thick, and most have decorative
edges designed to complement the clock's appearance. The door glass is then fitted to it's frame. Each has a special retainer molding which secures the glass in place and allows for easy removal for cleaning or replacement.
Gleaming brass door lock hardware is accurately positioned and secured to each clock base. Fretwork grills covered with speaker cloth to air the rich chime sounds are used on most clocks to cover the side doors on the crown.
Final quality control inspection under high intensity lights insures Ridgeway's famous workmanship in the cabinet construction and wood finish. The clock's West German movement is fully inspected before assembling. The movements are thoroughly tested for accuracy before mounting to the dial plate, then the clock hands are precisely attached to the movement. After the movement and dial are set in place in the cabinet, the clock is fully tested and tuned before shipment to the clock dealer.
Each Ridgeway clock is thoroughly inspected in each step 
of it's construction to meet our high standards for quality. Our skilled and dedicated craftsmen work hard to make sure the timepiece you select is the best representation of their work, and worthy of the Ridgeway name.
