What is a wall clock?

When we talk about a wall clock, we mean a clock that can be hung on the wall. That sounds logical and banal. Nevertheless, one should take this very carefully and make a clear distinction, because there are table clocks, grandfather clocks and alarm clocks that refer to other categories of clocks and have nothing in common with the general term wall clock.
Colloquially, the terms living room clocks, living clocks or home clocks are also used for the category of wall clocks. However, all terms always refer to watches that can be hung in rooms and often perform very special functions.

For eample, wall clocks in the kitchen are called kitchen clocks. These watches are usually very resistant and easier to clean. Materials such as ceramic or glass are often used to make these watches easy to clean.

Wall clocks for the home office are called office clocks. The wall clocks have a very good readability and are often equipped with a second hand. The numerals of the clock clocks are usually depicted in Arabic.

Other rooms that make use of special types of wall clocks are the bathroom and the representative room area of the apartments. Bathroom clocks are clocks that can be hung on tiles in the bathroom. These special wall clocks for the bathroom are very insensitive to moisture. Nevertheless, it is easy to read and often equipped with a timer function.

Pendulum clocks and regulators are higher-quality, visually very appealing wall clocks that hang in rooms that serve well-being. In the living room, therefore, there is often a wall clock with a pendulum or a mechanical wall clock, which is beautiful to look at and supports the style of the living room.

Brief History of the Wall Clock

Wall clocks have been used in Europe since the Middle Ages. France in the 17th century had led the way here and there was the French Comtoise clock, which was one of the first wall clocks to lay the foundation for use in the home. However, this type of wall clock could not be compared with today's clocks. The Comtoise watch had an iron movement. In addition, this particular watch had a very loud chiming mechanism.

If you go back even further, the first method of measuring time is known from ancient Egypt. Obelisks played with the shadow of sunlight and provided information on how to measure time. However, this had little to do with a wall clock in today's sense.

Since the 18th century, wall clocks have become more and more widespread, also through the development of Black Forest clocks. First in households that could afford a wall clock and later through mass production, which was driven forward in the Black Forest.

Initially as mechanical clocks and later, from the 20th century, also as quartz watches, which were superior to mechanical models in terms of the accuracy of wall clocks.

Different Types of Wall Clocks

Wall clocks are available in many different types for every room. As a pendulum clock for representative rooms, as a bath clock, kitchen clock or office clock.

Radio Wall Clocks

Especially worth mentioning because very popular is the radio wall clock. These wall clocks have a receiver that receives a signal from Frankfurt for the eact time setting. This means that the radio-controlled clock adjusts to the new time twice a year and always runs particularly precisely.
Quartz wall clocks, on the other hand, you have to adjust yourself.

Mechanical Wall Clocks

When it comes to the types of wall clocks, one should always distinguish between the mechanical wall clocks and the quartz wall clocks. The price difference between these two categories alone is immense. Mechanical wall clocks are comple to produce and the materials are of very high quality. This is why these watches are very popular with many watch fans. We carry the brands AMS, Hermle and Kieninger, which produce very high-quality and interesting models in the mechanical field.

When it comes to wall clock brands, there are manufacturers who specialize in a younger target group and come up with very colorful and visually new concepts. As a young brand, Karlsson has a very different audience here than AMS or Atlanta.
As a special category that is becoming more and more popular, one has to mention the pendulum wall clocks or just pendulum clocks. These wall clocks radiate a calmness about the swinging of the pendulum, which is very popular with many customers as an additional benefit.
