Clock-making is the craft of designing and constructing timekeeping devices, known as clocks. This process involves assembling various components, such as gears, springs, and pendulums, to create a mechanism that accurately measures time. Clock-makers often use materials like wood, metal, and glass to produce both functional and decorative pieces. The history of clock-making dates back to the Middle Ages, when the first mechanical clocks were developed in Europe. Over the centuries, advancements in technology and design have led to a wide variety of clocks, including wristwatches, grandfather clocks, and digital displays, each serving the purpose of keeping time in unique ways.
