  2. Telechron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telechron

    The electric clock market grew rapidly in the 1930s, and Telechron's patented power interruption indicator gave his clocks an advantage over competing synchronous clocks, but by the 1950s battery-operated clocks that weren't dependent on the power grid took market share, and in the 1960s the quartz clock replaced synchronous clocks.

    Zamboni's clock had a vertical needle supported by a pivot and was so energy efficient that it could operate on one battery for over 50 years. In 1840, Alexander Bain, a Scottish clock and instrument maker was the first to invent and patent a clock powered by electric current. His original electric clock patent is dated October 10, 1840.

    The electric clock was patented in 1840, and electronic clocks were introduced in the 20th century, becoming widespread with the development of small battery-powered semiconductor devices. The timekeeping element in every modern clock is a harmonic oscillator, a physical object that vibrates or oscillates at a particular frequency. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_clock

    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 ...

  7. Kit-Cat Klock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit-Cat_Klock

    The words "Kit-Cat" were added to the clock's face in 1982. The original clocks were AC-powered, but due to scarcity of American-made AC motors, the clock was redesigned for battery power in the late 1980s. [3] The manufacturer estimates that an average of one clock has been sold every three minutes for the last 50 years. [4]
