What is a perpetual clock?
1 Answer
A perpetual clock is one that never requires winding or a battery change to accurately track the time and sometimes also the date. Instead, the clock relies on a gas-filled capsule that shrinks and expands in response to temperature fluctuations to power its movement. On 1stDibs, find a range of perpetual clocks.
