antique clock

Old decorative timepiece

An antique clock is a timepiece old enough to be valued for its age, craftsmanship, or historical significance—typically at least a century old.

The term covers grandfather clocks, mantel clocks, pocket watches, and other mechanical timekeepers from earlier eras.

Collectors prize antique clocks for their movements and cases: The antique clock had been in the family for generations.
