Novelty Wall Clocks In The UK

How a Quartz Clock Works: Quartz clocks operate using the mineral quartz inside of a clock to keep time. Like mechanical clocks, quartz clocks still use gears to count time, but they are electrical. The mineral quartz is piezoelectric. This means that when a quartz crystal is squeezed, it generates a very small current of electricity.

Clocks come in many different forms, from quartz watches to atomic clocks. Take a peek under the hood in this HowStuffWorks video and learn what makes clocks tick. Credits: , HowStuffWorks

A clock is an instrument to indicate, keep, and co-ordinate time. The word clock is derived ultimately (via Dutch, Northern French, and Medieval Latin) from the Celtic words clagan and clocca meaning " bell". A silent instrument missing such a mechanism has traditionally been known as a timepiece.

Within the framework of the 19th edition of Dobry Wzór contest organized every year by the Institute of Industrial Design in Warsaw, Poland, which awards the best achievements of the year, our wall clock deLorentis PAKMANIAC has been chosen and recommended among the 2012 creations by the experts of the institute, confirming the originality and the quality of our creations.
