A 400 day torsion clock, often called an anniversary clock, is a mechanical timepiece designed to run for roughly 400 days on a single winding using a torsion pendulum.

These clocks are predominantly constructed from brass, featuring a glass dome (or bell jar) to protect the delicate movement and dial from dust.

Authenticity is generally identified through traditional manufacturing techniques, period-specific brass casting methods, maker marks on the movement backplate, and hand-painted porcelain dials.

It functions effectively as a focal point on a mantelpiece or bookshelf, adding metallic warmth and traditional craftsmanship to contemporary spaces.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and draughts, handle the pendulum with extreme care, and have the movement professionally serviced every few years to prevent wear on the delicate suspension spring.
