You wind up a spring and a notched wheel makes the clock tick consistantly.
the hands move with the mechanism to make the clock move a little bit every minute.
(The spring is tightened when you wind it up)
+++
The "notched wheel" is part of the "escapement", which does indeed control the speed, but the actual controlling influence in a mechanical clock is what that wheel drives and in turn returns the compliment by locking and releasing the wheel at a set rate. And that is the harmonic-motion properties of either a coiled spring attached to a miniature flywheel called the 'balance wheel', or of a pendulum.

How a wind up clock get energy?
A wind-up clock stores potential energy in a wound-up spring. When the spring is released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which drives the gears and hands of the clock to move and keep time.
What is a verb word for wind?
The verb form for "wind" is "to twist or turn in a spiral or coil." For example, "I need to wind the clock to make it work."
What is the past tense of wind the clock?
"wound the clock" is past tense.
How do you wind up 3 hole Gilbert clock?
To wind up a 3-hole Gilbert clock, first locate the winding arbor keyholes on the clock face. Insert the winding key into each keyhole and turn it clockwise until you feel resistance, indicating that the clock spring is fully wound. Be careful not to overwind the clock, as this can damage the mechanism.
What form of energy does a wind-up clock have?
A wind up clock contains potential energy stored in a spring. That elastic potential energy is used to move the hands of the clock and otherwise power its operation which might include making an alarm ring. The energy in the spring primarily is used to overcome friction (producing heat) in the internal mechanism, but technically a small amount of kinetic energy is contained in the moving hands and a small amount of energy is converted to sound waves if an alarm sound is created. To get energy into the spring, work was done on it. (Work is force times distance.) Force winds the alarm and that force is applied for a distance and in the direction of motion, even if that direction changes and it ends up being circular as in twisting a key to wind a spring. Apart from frictional forces opposing the winding, the work goes into the spring which gains potential energy. (Friction in the winding process produces some heat, so a careful accounting would put work done equals frictional heat energy plus spring potential energy. Work done equals change in the energy of the system.)
How do wind up a grandfather clock?
The wind up device should be behind the face of the clock.
How do you spell winde up a clock?

Who invented the first wind up clock?
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.
Where may one purchase a wind up clock?
A wind up clock can be purchased in many different places online and in retail stores. Depending on what design you want on your clock will dictate where the purchase is made.
How does a wind up car work?
They have a spiral spring,similar to a wind-up clock, and when released it drives a small gear, which in turn drives a larger gear, giving the wheels a suitible turning speed.
How do you work the Dekad alarm clock from IKEA because when I wind mine up it only works for about three minutes?
It's broke.
How a wind up clock get energy?
A wind-up clock stores potential energy in a wound-up spring. When the spring is released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which drives the gears and hands of the clock to move and keep time.
How did clocks improved?
first there were wind up clock, the battery opporated clock, and now electric clocks
