What is a bracket clock?

A bracket clock is a portable spring-driven timepiece developed to be easily moved between rooms. They gained their name from the wall brackets that originally supported them. Over time, many lost their wall brackets and came to sit directly on mantelpieces, desks, or tables while retaining the traditional name.

How do fusee movements work?

A fusee movement uses a conical pulley and a fine chain to regulate the pull of the mainspring. As the spring loses tension, the chain moves to a wider part of the cone. This clever mechanical device ensures the clock receives steady power throughout its run, improving the accuracy of the timekeeping.

Where should I place my clock?

These clocks belong on stable surfaces away from direct sunlight, dampness, and sudden temperature changes. A sturdy mantel or sideboard provides a secure home. Because mechanical clocks rely on level placement to keep time correctly, you may need small shims beneath the case to achieve an even beat.
