Waterbury Clock Co. “Regulator No. 54”, ca. 1915.  Perhaps a 50-inch clock is a bit small for you?  Here is a 57-inch Waterbury with a two-weight, 8-day, time-only brass plate movement with deadbeat escapement and retaining power.  It is solid oak with a very nice finish – and is quite heavy.  The door glass is old with the original retaining strips, the finials are original.  The 12-inch dial is painted, signed and lightly soiled, with some chipping.  The hands are Waterbury.  The movement is signed and running, a bit tentatively.  The pendulum stick and bob original issue; there are two brass weights running down each side to drive it, and a Waterbury beat scale.  There is a dark label on the inside bottom, noting the model and maker.  Horton’s sold one in January 2019 for $675.  $600-$800.
