Mechanical, Key Wound

Clockmaking is its own form of art. It’s been constantly improved upon and aesthetically-enhanced through the years, leaving our generation with some gorgeously-designed and expertly-crafted clocks and timepieces.

And here at Expressions of Time, we honor the clockmakers of the past and present by offering our customers some of the best items, from reputable brands all over the world.

Our collection of mechanical wall clocks and keywound wall clocks show just how dedicated we are to understanding our craft, acknowledging some of the earliest stages of clockmaking.

In fact, the word “horologia,” Greek for “to tell the hour,” is often used to describe early mechanical clocks. But the word clock (derived from the Celtic words clocca and clogan, which mean “bell”), has generally taken over the former terminology, implying that the sound of bells was a major characterization in the first prototypes for mechanical clocks, dating back to 13th century Europe.

The power source of mechanical clocks derives from on a suspended weight on a cord, or a simple chain intricately wound around a pulley, sprocket or drum. However, the most widely-used mechanism is a spiral spring, also known as a mainspring.

Mechanical clocks thus must be wound by hand over certain periods of time, using either a knob or key that inevitably stores energy in the weight/spring to keep the clock running smoothly.

In this way, mechanical clocks may seem like a hassle. But think about it: having the ability to control your clocks without worrying about power outages, or dead batteries, should leave you feeling more relaxed than stressed.
