Clockmaking

Clockmaking is the craft of designing and assembling timekeeping devices, combining precise engineering, craftsmanship, and artistry. It involves creating intricate mechanisms—called movements—that measure and display time accurately, often utilizing gears, springs, and escapements. Modern clockmakers may work with traditional techniques or advanced technologies, crafting everything from mechanical watches to large-scale tower clocks. The process demands detailed knowledge of materials, physics, and precision assembly, ensuring reliability and aesthetic appeal. Ultimately, clockmaking balances scientific principles with artistic expression, resulting in functional timepieces that are both precise and beautiful.
