"Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley & His Comets
There were clocks and watches in the 1800s. Watches then were bulky compared to the ones today, and you would carry them in your pocket. They were powered by a metal spring, and you would have to wind them to keep them running. Clocks of the day generally had pendulums that would swing to keep the time. They also had to be wound about once a day. Some had a spring. Winding would coil up the spring, and the workings of the clock would be driven by the spring unwinding. Other clocks had a weight on a cord wrapped around a spindle. Winding would rais the weight, and as the weight went back down, the spindle turning drove the clock. There were also sundials that showed the time by the angle of a shadow, as the sun moved from east to west.
In 2010, the clocks will spring forward on March 14th. They will spring forward one hour, so when it is 6:00 in your head, the clock will say its 7:00.....I think...oh yes yes that is right!!!
No. You can not have a clock of things.

A spring-driven clock uses a tightly wound spring to store potential energy. As the spring unwinds, the energy is transferred to gears, which regulate the movement of the clock hands. The escapement mechanism, controlled by the gear train, ensures that the clock hands move in precise increments.
They are turned by a gear train, which in turn is driven by a spring-driven, weight-driven, or electric motor. Their direction of rotation is normally clockwise when viewing the clock's "face".
The gear-driven clock was said to have been invented by the German locksmith Peter Henlein around 1510. He is often credited with creating the first portable clock, known as a "Nuremberg egg," which was a small, spring-powered device.
A gravity-powered clock, such as a grandfather clock or a torsion pendulum clock, converts gravitational energy to elastic energy using a weight-driven mechanism. The weight slowly descends due to gravity, causing the clock's spring or pendulum to wind up and store potential energy as tension in the spring or material of the pendulum.

Peter Henlein, a German locksmith and clockmaker, is credited with inventing the first portable spring-driven clock in the 16th century, which is considered one of the first types of wind-up clocks.
A spring powered clock is a type of mechanical clock that uses a mainspring as its energy source. The mainspring is wound up manually, usually with a key, and as it unwinds it powers the clock's movement, causing the hands to move and the clock to keep time.
Clock time doesn't change; each day is 24 hours long except when leap seconds are added or subtracted; this is infrequent and usually happens New Year's Eve. The period of sunlight begins to get longer than the period of dark when spring begins.
the spring is in the water at the iceberg but you will need to get it!
A clock spring is used to regulate the movement and control accuracy. It is precisely crafted to a tight tolerances.
