McGuire's Clocks

Radio, key, or quartz? Bonnet, flat, or split pediment? Who knew that clock talk had such elaborate lingo? Well, perhaps your grandfather did. And McGuire's – Texas' oldest operating clock shop, in business since 1964 – could very well have been your grandfather's clock shop. And if you have a hankerin' for the classic as well as the cutting edge, you should definitely make McGuire's your grandfather clock shop, as they carry all manner of timepiece, from the ornate and imposing 7-foot granddad models (both antique and reproduction) to mod and innocuous wall units synced by radio signal with the cesium atomic clock, the world's most accurate clock. One step into their small yet impressive showroom is a trip into time, quite literally.
