A Clock Movement is the internal mechanical mechanism responsible for driving a clock and regulating its timekeeping. Traditional movements consist of gears, wheels, escapements, springs or weights, and are housed within the clock case. Antique clock movements range from simple time-only mechanisms to highly complex examples incorporating striking trains, calendars, moon phases and musical complications. The originality and quality of a movement are key factors in determining a clock\'s value and collectability.
