Wholesale Clocks:

A clock is an instrument for measuring and indicating the time. Deriving ultimately – via Dutch, Northern French, and Medieval Latin – from a Celtic word meaning "bell", for horologists and other specialists the term "clock" continues to mean exclusively a device with a striking mechanism for announcing intervals of time acoustically, by ringing a bell, a set of chimes, or a gong. A silent instrument lacking such a mechanism has traditionally been known as a timepiece. In general usage today, however, a "clock" refers to any device for measuring and displaying the time which, unlike a watch, is not worn on the person.
