What do you need to know about wall clocks
Wall clock refers to a clock hung on the wall, which originated from tower clocks. Around the 16th century, large tower clock buildings appeared in Europe. Due to the limitations of manufacturing technology at that time, clocks were generally larger in size. With the development of technology, especially the breakthrough in Japanese quartz clock technology in the mid-20th century, small wall clocks became popular in thousands of households.
