Wag on the wall clock history.
This is known as a postmans alarm clock.
It has a bell mounted on top and you can set the alarm time by turning the dial indicator on the center of the clock face to the desired alarm time.
These clocks usually only lost 2 hours a day that was really good for the time they had been used in.
It is weight driven and uses a wag on the wall pendulum.
But there was a time when almost all clocks were either tower clocks or tall long case grandfather clock clocks.
It has wood plates bushed with brass with traditional brass and steel gears.
These of course could only be built in tall towers since the weights needed to fall great distances in order to keep time for long periods.
They are wound once a week by pulling on the free end of each chain to raise the weights.
Wag on wall clocks are very attractive with their visible weights and pendulum.
