Mechanical Clock

A mechanical clock is a timekeeping device that uses gears, springs, and a pendulum or balance wheel to measure time. It operates through a series of interconnected parts: a wound spring stores energy, which is released in a controlled manner to drive the clock hands. The pendulum or balance wheel regulates this release, ensuring accurate timekeeping. Unlike digital clocks that use electronic components, mechanical clocks rely on physical movement and precision engineering. They are often valued for their craftsmanship and enduring design, symbolizing both art and functionality in horology.
