decorative wall clocks

 of course its function is not foreign to us. That wall clock functions as a time. But of course, such as essence of man in general, the clock is not fixated on one function. There are a variety of functions that evolved on the clock. Therefore, this paper attempts to discuss the function Wall Clock from time to time.

We will discuss the shift in the clock functionality that continues to grow over time. Slowly but surely, it is the human will be itching at the clock only used as a pointer of time, but maybe for some people, wall clocks have the potential to function with much more powerful.

And this is the function of the clock from time to time:

1. The clock functions as a time

This is the most basic function for a wall clock, a timepiece. Everyone knows it. In fact, the first reason is the wall clock found for their strong need of human beings to know the time and can be measured simultaneously. With the presence of the clock (which was once the hours of light) then it needs adequately met anyway.

Wall clock is a timepiece. And the timepiece is the main function of the clock. That's what we have agreed upon. However it turns out, the function of the clock does not stop there.

2. The clock serves as a wall decoration

Wall clock function as a timepiece can not negotiable. But there are still some additional functions that also affect the aesthetic form of the clock itself. Its function is to decorate the walls.

Why decorate the walls? So like this. Many people consider a plain wall is too absurd to be seen, because of that, a wall clock with a unique shape can make the wall look more beautiful as well as a timepiece.

Often designers make-hour clock in order to fulfill this second function, namely as a wall decoration. With menomorsatukan subordinating aesthetics and functionality.

3. The clock serves as a media campaign

In addition to functioning as a timepiece and wall hangings, wall clock also continues to experience expansion in its functions. Today, with the amount of competition in the world of advertisement strict, various creations to promote its products so exceptional. One is to promote the use of clocks.

So, now is the wall clock also serves as a media campaign, or commonly referred to promotion wall clock.

A reference to the year 1900 does not mean that this is the epoch of the mean solar day contains 86,400 seconds.

Rather it is the epoch of the tropical year contains 31,556,925.9747 roomates seconds of Ephemeris Time.

Ephemeris Time (Ephemeris Time - ET) has been defined as a measure of time that Gives

the position of the celestial objects visible in accordance with Newton's theory of dynamic movement.

In 1656, was born Grandfather's Clock [clock with bells berpendulum] as a measure of time

Then its role as a reliable timepiece replaced by Kristal Quatrz roomates Began to be applied on the hour with a very low error rate

In 1956, the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM)

under the mandate given by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM)

to ten in 1954, lays seconds in the period of rotation of the earth around the sun in the current epoch.

Because at that time have Tirrenus the rotation of the earth on its axis is not quite uniform

to be used as the standard time.

Earth movement was Described in Newcomb's Tables of the Sun (solar List Newcomb)

roomates Gives a formula for the sun's movement in the epoch in 1900

based on astronomical observations made during the eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries.

Thus Spake the second is defined as

1 / 31,556,925.9747 part of the solar year in the date of January 1900 0 12 hours ephemeris time.

This definition was ratified by the General Conference on Weights and Measures to eleven in 1960.

With the making of the atomic clock, it was determined the use of the atomic clock
