It has always been a wall clock in at least one of the houses of my family. I can not even remember a time growing up without one. My first experience with a grandfather clock was in reality, "the grandfather clock in the house he had on his farm in Wisconsin. I still remember that the pendulum clock in the room.

I was a suburban boy of Illinois, and remember that the old clock in the dark singing after dinner. I have the fondest memories of that clock and the times I enjoyed visiting the farm with my family. Hard times hit, as they do in the lives of most families. That clock is gone. So when I was looking to find a long-case clock (my grandfather clock) for my house, I was surprised at how expensive they were. This created a desire to learn more about clocks and time of maintenance.

I discovered actually science and innovation in the history of all watches. It even has its own name, Watches. Watches includes history, science, technology, design, art, crafts and study of watch making, maintenance time and time keepers. It also includes other devices for measuring time. Clocks, clocks, clock, sundials, water clocks, timers, time recorders and marine chronometers are all examples of the instruments used to measure time.

(Hourglass is a new word for me. It is an ancient device that measures time by marking the regulated flow of water or mercury through a small opening. Also called a water clock or glass of water.)

Originally, the clocks that we now refer to as they were called longcase clocks pendulum clocks. These watches go by other names, tall case clock, floor clock are some of these names.

As a definition, the longcase clock is usually an independent, weight-driven, pendulum clock. The pendulum is at the center of the tower, which is the tall and narrow. The center is known as the waist. These clocks can vary in height from 6 to 8 feet. The original longcase clocks, and many of the higher end watches today often feature elaborate carved ornamentation the bonnet, which surrounds the dial, or clock face. Most longcase clocks are striking clocks, which means that sound loudly when a bell or gong.

The English clockmaker William Clement is credited with developing this form of clock in 1670. I read that there is some controversy over the introduction of accreditation anchor drain. Some credit references clockmaker William Clement, who popularized this escape in his invention of the longcase clock. The exhaust will most likely anchor is invented by British scientist Robert Hooke.

The introduction of the longcase clock is the invention of the anchor escapement mechanism. (A leak it is the clockwork mechanism that keeps the swing of the pendulum and the progress of the wheels of the clock with every swing. A leak of one type of anchor is used in escape pendulum clocks.

Before that, the pendulum clock movements escape mechanisms used to point, which requires very large pendulum about 100 degrees. I'll go more deeply into the swing of the pendulum and escapement mechanisms in future articles.
