  2. Quartz clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_clock

    Quartz clocks and quartz watches are timepieces that use an electronic oscillator regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. This crystal oscillator creates a signal with very precise frequency, so that quartz clocks and watches are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than mechanical clocks. Generally, some form of digital logic ...

  3. Fusee (horology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusee_(horology)

    Fusee (horology) A fusee (from the French fusée, wire wound around a spindle) is a cone -shaped pulley with a helical groove around it, wound with a cord or chain attached to the mainspring barrel of antique mechanical watches and clocks. It was used from the 15th century to the early 20th century to improve timekeeping by equalizing the ...

  4. Movement (clockwork) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movement_(clockwork)

    Movement (clockwork) In horology, a movement, also known as a caliber or calibre (British English), is the mechanism of a watch or timepiece, as opposed to the case, which encloses and protects the movement, and the face, which displays the time. The term originated with mechanical timepieces, whose clockwork movements are made of many moving ...

  5. Torsion pendulum clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_pendulum_clock

    A torsion pendulum clock, more commonly known as an anniversary clock or 400-day clock, is a mechanical clock which keeps time with a mechanism called a torsion pendulum. This is a weighted disk or wheel, often a decorative wheel with three or four chrome balls on ornate spokes, suspended by a thin wire or ribbon called a torsion spring (also ...

  6. Verge escapement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verge_escapement

    The verge (or crown wheel) escapement is the earliest known type of mechanical escapement, the mechanism in a mechanical clock that controls its rate by allowing the gear train to advance at regular intervals or 'ticks'. Verge escapements were used from the late 13th century until the mid 19th century in clocks and pocketwatches.

  7. Complication (horology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complication_(horology)

    Complication (horology) In horology, a complication is any feature of a timepiece beyond the display of hours, minutes and seconds. A timepiece indicating only hours, minutes and seconds is known as a simple movement. Common complications include date or day-of-the-week indicators, alarms, chronographs (stopwatches), and automatic winding ...

  9. Mechanical watch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_watch

    The hand-winding movement of a Russian watch. A mechanical watch is a watch that uses a clockwork mechanism to measure the passage of time, as opposed to quartz watches which function using the vibration modes of a piezoelectric quartz tuning fork, or radio watches, which are quartz watches synchronized to an atomic clock via radio waves.
