  2. Flameless candle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flameless_candle

    Flameless candles display flickering light, simulating real flames. As a decorative element, the design of a flameless candle is relatively versatile. The body or "housing" of the device is commonly cylindrical, containing a battery pack and an often flame-shaped LED lamp atop the candle. Many manufactures use LED lights with a sporadic ...

    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.

  4. Carriage clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carriage_clock

    A feature of carriage clocks is the platform escapement, sometimes visible through a glazed aperture on the top of the case. Carriage clocks use a balance and balance spring for timekeeping and replaced the larger pendulum bracket clock. The factory of Armand Couaillet, in Saint-Nicolas d'Aliermont, France, made thousands of carriage clocks ...

  5. Electric clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_clock

    The use of electricity then led to many variations of clock and motor designs. Electromechanical clocks were made as individual timepieces but most commonly were used as integral parts of synchronized time installations. Experience in telegraphy led to connecting remote clocks (slave clocks) via wires to a controlling (master clock) clock.

  6. Clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock

    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 ( resonator ) that vibrates or oscillates at a particular ...

  7. Self Winding Clock Company - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_Winding_Clock_Company

    The Self Winding Clock Company (SWCC) was a major manufacturer of electromechanical clocks from 1886 until about 1970. [1] Based in New York City, the company was one of the first to power its clocks with an electric motor instead of winding by hand. A patented clock mechanism automatically rewinds the main spring each hour by the small ...
