Altra Plastic Pendulum Wall Clock - Black

Description

The pendulum is a rod or weight that swings back and forth in a precise rhythm. The length of the pendulum and its weight are carefully calibrated to ensure accurate timekeeping. As the pendulum swings, it activates the clock's escapement mechanism, which controls the release of energy to keep the clock running. Pendulum clocks are known for their accuracy, especially when properly maintained. The swinging motion of the pendulum allows the clock to maintain a consistent timekeeping rate. However, they may still require periodic adjustments to account for changes in temperature and other factors that can affect the length of the pendulum. Pendulum wall clocks often have ornate and decorative designs, making them popular choices for home decor. They come in various styles, including traditional, vintage, and contemporary, to suit different aesthetics. Many pendulum clocks have a chime or strike feature that produces a sound on the hour and sometimes on the half-hour. The sound can vary, from simple chimes to more elaborate melodies, depending on the clock's design.
