Kinds of Clocks

Growing up, you may have seen a variety of clocks in your home and the homes of friends and family. The beautiful grandfather clock that chimed on every hour, the silly cuckoo clock with a little bird that popped out and sang, the alarm clock obnoxiously “arghh-arghh”ing so early in the morning, and the delicate little china clock sitting on the mantle – this variety of clocks gives just a sample of the types that fill the homes of families all over the world.
