Wall clocks are more than just time-viewing devices. These clocks not only tell you the time, but also add an essence of beauty and charm to your home. Wall clocks are not just limited to your living area. You can add stylish wall clocks in your bedroom, kitchen, balcony and wherever you wish.

A clock is an instrument, for example in a room or on the outside of a building, that shows what time of day it is. A clock or watch is called "analog" when it has moving hands and (usually) hours marked from 1 to 12 to show you the time.

What is the purpose of clocks?

1. The primary purpose of a clock is to display the time. Clocks also have the irritating application of making a loud alert signal at a specified time, the alarm clock that is! A clock mechanism is also used to control a device according to time, e.g. a central heating system, a VCR, or a time bomb.
2. The modern wall clocks most certainly add more charm to the act of checking the time—and they double as home decor.
3. A wall clock never gets lost, it doesn’t have to be charged every day, and it certainly costs a whole lot less, especially when you factor in the price of cracked screens for the more clumsy user. 

Who made the clock?

Though various locksmiths and people from different communities invented different methods for calculating time, it was Peter Henlein, a locksmith from Nuremberg, Germany, who is credited with the invention of the modern-day clock and the originator of the entire clock making industry that we have today.

Conclusion

There are an overwhelming number of wall clocks on the market and it can be hard to know where to even start. The old saying goes that nothing is certain except death and taxes. However, it could be argued that the need to track time can be lumped in with these certainties.

Items that are well past the expiry date should never be given as presents as they not only bring bad luck to the sender and receiver of the gift but can also ruin the friendship between them. Wall clock buy and watches should not be given by a younger person to an older one as this represents the passage of time.
