Do they still make grandfather clocks?Yes or No?
I don't believe there is any production of grandfather clocks but custom built clocks are made so if you have the cash to spare you can have a new one.
So thats a no and yes
There are actually quite a few manufacturers of grandfather clocks, especially in the United States. Germany has a clockmaker by the name of German Grandfather Clocks by Lepper.
Informative.
They considered a law to get rid of them but the clocks got an exemption and were grandfathered in.Do they still make grandfather clocks?Yes or No?
I became a grandfather just over a year ago. I wear and Apple Watch. Does this qualify?
And at every NASCAR race in Martinsville, the winner receives a grandfather clock. They must be getting them from somewhere...

Race weekend at Martinsville Speedway: Grandfather Clock trophy to ride in style on trailer built by P&HCC students
Patrick and Henry Community College (P&HCC) welding students left their mark on this year’s Martinsville Speedway NASCAR events by building a trailer for the famous grandfather clock trophy.
I really worry about the pendulum on an Apple Watch. That's gotta be a nuisance!

Yes. Where depends on your price range. On a budget, go to Walmart.Do they still make grandfather clocks?Yes or No?
A bespoke grandfather clock would be quite a tall order!
If you've got to ask the price then you can't afford it.
No one can ever ask for the price on my watch.
Its either a plastic knock off or a $5,000,000 Patek Philippe. No need to tell ;-)
I've yet to visit my local Walmarts and see a grandfather clock for sale.
I shudder at the though of the quality of such a piece.

Yes, you can still buy grandfather's clocks. Howard Miller in the US makes fairly decent ones. It used to be that the case maker was different from the works maker. There were two dominant works makers in the late twentieth century. Hermle and Kieninger.. Kieninger was the better quality of the two. I have two clocks.from the New England Clock Company. One with Hermle.works and one with Kieninger works. Neither is a grandfather's clock. I think it was in the 1990's that Howard Miller acquired Kieninger. Other clock companies were not happy with that.
A well-deserved shudder, too!

You would be right. Fake weights, battery operated which means a fake pendulum too. A real pendulum tends to be noticeably slower. They are relaxing. Fake ones always make me feel.edgy. But it is a fifth to a tenth of the price of the real thing:

Whoah! Those were all really cheap. Any decent grandfather clock is going to cost minimum $2,000, and more likely over $4,000.

One of the most beautiful clocks that I sold was a New England grandfather clock with a case of curly maple. No glass door. The wood was the what you paid for. You couldn't see the pendulum move. The person that I ordered it for backed out of the deal. And I had ordered it with nothing down. So I was stuck with it. I finally sold it. At a good price. So what did I do? I bought another one of course. I was very tempted to make it my own, but I didn't have a proper place for it. When it sold the company was out of business.
