Time is a crucial part of life. The Clock is one of the few tools we are gifted to keep track, measure and also indicate time.

In today’s world, there are many types of clocks, with various mechanisms of measuring and telling time.

These kind of clocks are called Sundial Clocks.

Digital Wall Clocks: Also very popular, these kind of clocks uses two sets of numbers, separated by a colon to indicate the hour and minute. The time is projected using a display technology, such as LCD or LED.

Auditory Clocks: This type is used majorly for convenience, distance, telephony, or blindness, auditory clocks present the time as sounds. The sound is either in spoken natural language or as auditory codes i.e. number of sequential bell rings on the hour represents the number of the hour, like the clock Big Ben.
