  2. Candle clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candle_clock

    It included a dial to display the time and, for the first time, employed a bayonet fitting, a fastening mechanism still used in modern times. [5] The English engineer and historian Donald Routledge Hill described one of al-Jazari's candle clocks as follows: The candle, whose rate of burning was known, bore against the underside of the cap, and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortt–Synchronome_clock

    The pendulums received a push from the mechanism once every 30 seconds to keep them swinging. The secondary clock had two clock dials on it, showing the time kept by each pendulum, to verify that they were synchronized. It also had electrical terminals which produced a 1 Hz timing signal. Wires could be attached to these to transmit the clock's ...

    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enough to be able to be adapted for grain mills , [ 97 ] and by 1344 the clock in London's Old St Paul's Cathedral had been replaced by one with an escapement. [ 98 ]

  5. Wheel train - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_train

    In striking clocks, the striking train is a gear train that moves a hammer to strike the hours on a gong. It is usually driven by a separate but identical power source to the going train. In antique clocks, to save costs, it was often identical to the going train, and mounted parallel to it on the left side when facing the front of the clock. [11]

  6. Quartz clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_clock

    Standard-quality 32 768 Hz resonators of this type are warranted to have a long-term accuracy of about six parts per million (0.0006%) at 31 °C (87.8 °F): that is, a typical quartz clock or wristwatch will gain or lose 15 seconds per 30 days (within a normal temperature range of 5 to 35 °C or 41 to 95 °F) or less than a half second clock ...

  7. Repeater (horology) - Wikipedia

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

    The repeating clock was invented by the English cleric and inventor, the Reverend Edward Barlow in 1676. [2]: 206 His innovation was the rack and snail striking mechanism, which could be made to repeat easily and became the standard mechanism used in both clock and watch repeaters ever since. The best kind of repeating clocks were expensive to ...

  8. Verge escapement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verge_escapement

    It is believed that sometime in the late 13th century the verge escapement mechanism was applied to tower clocks, creating the first mechanical escapement clock. [11] In spite of the fact that these clocks were celebrated objects of civic pride which were written about at the time, it may never be known when the new escapement was first used. [13]

  9. 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 ...
