		BRACKET CLOCKS: Nowadays ‘Bracket Clocks’ is a common title to describe spring driven clocks with pendulums sitting on tables or mantles, shelves or a wall bracket.
		DIAL CLOCKS: A common name for wall mounted timepieces intended for use in public places, offices, schools etc. Developed in the 1750s, and mostly made in London, they were plain but elegant in design, with cases of oak or mahogany with brass bezels and iron painted dials.
		The original clocks were built at the beginning of the 19th century by Viennese clock makers as private master clocks, but quickly became popular with customers because of their superb movement, dial and case quality.
