On electric clocks such as quartz clocks, the music is usually generated using an electronic sound module. Most of these quartz musical clocks utilize either FM synthesis or sample-based synthesis technology for sound generation to produce high-fidelity and complex music, similar to the sound generation methods of electronic musical instruments.
Neglecting the length of the vessel, and presuming that he is at the bow, he observes the time number lying on the line of sight.
