Before electricity, people used gears and springs to make clocks. Imagine a big clock with hands that move because of little wheels inside, like the way your toy car moves when you wind it up! The first clocks were huge, but they worked by using weight and gears to keep time ticking smoothly.
Examples
- A big clock in a town square that you wind up like a toy.
- Your grandfather's old clock that needs winding every day.
- A weight hanging from a rope inside a clock, making it tick.
