Howard Miller Oak Fables Quartz Wall Clock

$148.00
A substantial Howard Miller Model 613-239 “Fables” wall clock featuring a warm oak case, glass front, cream dial, bold Roman numerals, and decorative corner detailing. The case has that classic Howard Miller furniture-clock presence: structured top and base moldings, a deep rectangular wall profile, and a traditional dial that feels right at home in an office, kitchen, dining room, or library wall.

This clock is battery-operated quartz and has a fun little feature hiding in plain sight: dual red second hands! The long red second hand and the lower red seconds dial operate independently of one another, one ticks and one moves with a smoother motion. Both have been tested and are working and they will need to be manually synced after shipping or after battery changes, if you want it to look like the listing video.

📚 Historical Context

Howard Miller built its name in Zeeland, Michigan, making clocks that were part timepiece, part furniture, and part “yes, that wall needed something with authority.” By the late 20th and early 21st century, the company was bridging two worlds: traditional American casework on the outside and reliable quartz convenience on the inside.

The Fables model sits right in that lane. You get the old-school visual language: oak finish, Roman numerals, glass crystal, decorative dial work, and a case that looks more architectural than ordinary, but without the winding, weights, chimes, or mechanical fuss. It is Howard Miller doing what Howard Miller did best: giving a practical household clock the presence of a small piece of furniture.
