  • Circa - A Latin term meaning 'about', often used in the antique trade to give an approximate date for the piece, usually considered to be five years on either side of the circa year. Thus, circa 1900 means the piece was made about 1900, probably between 1895 and 1905. The expression is sometimes abbreviated to c.1900.
  • Movement - The technical name for the workings of a clock or watch, and does not include the dial or case.
  • Hour Striking / Half Hour Striking - An hour striking clock chimes on the hour to indicate the time. The striking mechanism consists of a series of gears and hammers that are set in motion by the clock's movement and are designed to strike a bell or gong to mark the passing of time.

    An hour striking clock will strike once on the first hour, twice on the second hour, and so on, up to twelve strikes at noon and midnight. In a half hour striking clock, the clock will strike once on the half hour, and the number of strikes on the hour corresponds to the number of hours passed since the previous half hour.
