The Wall Clocks we have today come from a long line of basic clocks.

The earliest clock instrument used for telling time was the Sundial. The Sundial tells the time of the day based on the shadows that the sun's rays cast on the marked surfaces. In its crudest form, the Sundial is made up of poles or sticks set on the ground. Most Wall Clocks are still based on the Sundial's look – in fact, some Wall Clocks are purposely designed to look like 'old' Sundials.

To understand the history and origin of Wall Clocks, a concise summary on the history of the clock is difficult. Contrary to popular belief, the ultimate in antique origins of the Wall Clock is certainly not a Sundial, but since there has not been any documentation to prove otherwise, it is the most likely place where the history begins. But looking at it more practically, the history of Wall Clocks probably began with the origin of old and unique instruments such as the pocket watch and long case clock. The Wall Clock was mainly based on the very ideas of Isaac Blaisdell. His ideas were of designs for a clock for people who found the long case clock to be too big. 

Today Wall Clocks add value to both Homes and Offices.
