wall clock

wall clock is a timekeeping device typically mounted on a wall, used to display the current time in hours, minutes, and often seconds. It can come in a variety of designs, ranging from simple and functional to ornate and decorative. Most wall clocks have a circular or rectangular face with numbers (usually Arabic or Roman) arranged in a circle, and two or three hands—hour, minute, and sometimes second—that rotate around the dial to indicate the time.

Wall clocks can be powered by different mechanisms, including mechanical (with a winding mechanism), quartz (battery-powered), or even solar energy. The face may be made of materials like plastic, metal, glass, or wood, with finishes that vary from sleek and modern to rustic or vintage. Some may have additional features like alarms, chimes, temperature displays, or pendulums.

These clocks can be a focal point in a room, serving as both a functional item and a decorative accent.
