    The first clock known to strike regularly on the hour, a clock with a verge and foliot mechanism, is recorded in Milan in 1336. [96] By 1341, clocks driven by weights were familiar enough to be able to be adapted for grain mills, [97] and by 1344 the clock in London's Old St Paul's Cathedral had been replaced by one with an escapement.

    In nearly all quartz clocks and watches, the frequency is 32 768 Hz, [1] and the crystal is cut in a small tuning fork shape on a particular crystal plane. [2] This frequency is a power of two ( 32 768 = 2 15 ), just high enough to exceed the human hearing range , yet low enough to keep electric energy consumption , cost and size at a modest ...
