A twin fusee bracket clock is a spring-driven table clock utilising a fusee cone and chain mechanism to equalise power, featuring two separate gear trains for timekeeping and hourly striking.

These timepieces are typically constructed with hardwood cases such as oak, mahogany, or rosewood, housing brass movements, silvered or enamel dials, and glass front apertures.

Keep the timepiece in a climate-stable room away from direct heat, wind the mechanism regularly with the correct key, and schedule professional horological servicing every five to seven years.
