A time clock is provided which includes a minute wheel that is advanced every minute and an hour wheel that must be advanced every hour, wherein a deflecting pawl device is utilized, in place of gears, to connect the wheels. Both wheels have ratchet teeth, and a pawl that oscilltes once each minute to advance the minute wheel. The minute wheel, which rotates once every hour, has a cam that moves beside the pawl to deflect it sidewardly so that the pawl engages a tooth on the hour wheel. Thus, at the next oscillation of the pawl, both wheels are advanced. The minute wheel bears the numbers 0 through 59, while the hour wheel bears the numbers 1 through 12 repeated five times, so that both wheels have 60 numbers.
