A clock has a striking mechanism separate and discrete from the clock mechanism. The two mechanisms are located in side-by-side relation and aligned by a pin common to both mechanisms. The striking mechanism comprises striking means and control means, for limiting the strikes to a predetermined number corresponding to the particular time indicated by the clock. Both the striking means and the control means are actuated, through respective linkages, by a driven gear pivotable between a driven position in which the driven gear is in meshing engagement with a constantly rotating gear, driven by the clock mechanism, and a disengaged undriven position. Part of the control means on the striking mechanism is synchronized for continuous movement with the hour hand shaft on the clock mechanism using a linking gear mounted on the pin common to both the clock mechanism and striking mechanism.
