These were the primary locations for most mechanical clocks until the coiled spring was invented

in the mid-15th century, allowing clockmakers to shrink them down to a more manageable and

Later on, new materials and techniques were added.

Pendulums, hair springs, quartz and magnets all found their way into these machines, bringing
