Time is our constant companion, and we want to know what time has come. The clock gives us this important information at any time of the day or night- whether on the wall or standing on a clear surface such as a table, shelf, highboard or sideboard. A clock face with the arrangement of numerical or Roman numerals and an hour, minute and possibly a second hand is part of the basic equipment of a clock. The incorporation of an individual case made of wood or metal and a corresponding glass cover also makes the clock an attractive decorative element. It is indispensable in every room, such as the living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway and bedroom. It also conquers the children's room and decorates the wall and bedside table.
