“A clock is an instrument used to indicate, measure, keep, and co-ordinate time. The word clock
 is derived ultimately (via Dutch, Northern French, and Medieval Latin) from the Celtic words
 clagan and clocca 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 a "clock" refers to any device for measuring and displaying the time. 
Watches and other timepieces that can be carried on one's person are often distinguished from clocks.”
