A skeleton clock is a timepiece designed to display its internal gear train and mechanical movement openly by skeletonising the plates, typically housed beneath a protective glass dome.

These clocks traditionally feature a brass or gilt-bronze framework and gear train, mounted on a velvet or cloth-lined wooden base, and protected by a blown-glass dome.

Authenticity is usually determined by hand-cut brass wheels, fusee movements, fire-gilt or polished brass finishes, and minor imperfections in the hand-blown glass dome.

Position the clock on a sturdy surface like a mantelpiece or sideboard where the intricate mechanics can be admired from multiple angles, allowing the piece to serve as a focal point.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, avoid handling the brass directly to prevent tarnishing from skin oils, and have the movement professionally serviced every few years.
