Some clocks are called chiming clocks because they give off a chiming, or striking, sound at various times. A striking, or chiming, clock sounds the hours audibly by using a bell or a gong.
The special feature of these clocks is that they will chime at preset intervals. Some chime on the hour, some on the half hour, and some can be set to chime every 15 minutes.
Some clocks are hundreds of years old (and still fully functional); others were only made last week.
Simple decoration
There are a lot of clocks that have Roman numerals---not JUST churches. Originally it may have been a continuation of the archaic designs of sundials. Many clocks today have Roman numerals because it makes them look old and classy. Also some clocks with Roman Numerals will have the 4 written as "IV" and some as "IIII". This odd dichotomy has no firm explanation.
Outside clocks allow for the greatest distribution of time information to the widest number of people. Outside clocks are also often associated with advertisement around or in some case on the face of the clock for the manufacturer.

Pendulum clocks are accurate timekeepers due to the periodic motion of the pendulum, which helps regulate the movement of the clock's gears. They are also relatively simple in design, making them reliable and easy to maintain. Additionally, pendulum clocks are energy-efficient as they require minimal power to function.
Some clocks, especially those with mechanical movements, may use magnetism in their design to regulate or control the timekeeping mechanism. For example, some clocks may use a magnetic balance wheel or electromagnetic coils to help keep time accurately. However, quartz clocks and digital clocks typically do not rely on magnetism for their operation.
they are called daily schedule clocks
