Method and apparatus for automatic time correction of a mechanical clock

摘要

A mechanical clock arrangement (10) includes a linkage apparatus (24) rotatingly driving an hour hand (20) and/or a minute hand (22) of a mechanical clock (12). A sensing device (14) senses a time of day displayed by the mechanical clock. A control device (18) is in communication with both the sensing device and a source (16) of an actual time of day. The control device actuates the linkage apparatus to thereby cause the time of day displayed by the mechanical clock to correspond to the actual time of day.
