Clocks hold a special interest for many antique collectors. The many mechanical variations that affect the length of operation and the variety of striking devices and case designs have particular appeal. Since early clocks were handmade by individuals, the variations in the movements are almost infinite.

Near the end of the 14th century, the spring had begun to replace the weight in some clocks. This advancement allowed for clocks which could be carried. One problem with a spring clock is that the escapement mechanism must always be operated with a constant force. The problem was that as the spring unwound, it lost power. To solve this, the stackfreed was introduced. This is an extra spring that works against the motion when the watch is fully wound.
