Motion Musical Clocks Fascinate

These “motion” clocks are made both by Seiko and by Rhythm.  They were quite beautiful, and they often also play pleasant music.  In fact, some have a multitude of tunes that can be switched out, so the song need not be always the same.  The clock’s owner has some control if the clock does offer myriad tunes.  In fact, seasonal holiday music can be selected from the list of tunes for many clocks.

The feature that sets these clocks apart is the fact the faces move, often opening to reveal a beautiful scene not normally visible.  The motion can take some time to complete, so there is ample opportunity to see the inside area of the clock. 

Because the motion is the real beauty of the clock, they often are accompanied by multiple images when shown for sale.  But, even multiple images cannot do justice to the beauty, so many videos are available.  Many of these videos are on YouTube.

Some of these clocks have a simple movement where the face separates into two pieces and opens.  Others have a more intricate movement.  The face on the more detailed clocks extends, separates into several sections, then each part of the extended face rotates in a dance. 

During the motion is when the clock plays either chimes or a tune.  There is an illusion that the clock is dancing to the music.

Some of the clocks have characters that are revealed during the times a clock should chime.  These characters then go into motion.  This can add a different dimension to the clock.

Viewing only a few videos, or looking at just a few clocks, will not do justice to these marvelous clocks.  One must view a multitude of clocks in order to get a proper appreciation of what is available.

And, there are some clocks that can be set on a mantle or shelf, although many of these clocks are wall clocks.
