A bracket clock is a style of antique portable table clock made in the 17th and 18th centuries. The term originated with small weight-driven pendulum clocks (sometimes called 'true bracket clocks') that had to be mounted on a bracket on the wall to allow room for their hanging weights. When spring-driven clocks were developed, which didn't require hanging weights to power them, they continued to be made in the bracket style. Often they are composed of two matching pieces created as an ensemble: the clock and its small decorative shelf. They are almost always made of wood, often ebony, and often ornamented with ormolu mounts, brass inlay, wood or tortoise shell veneer, or decorative varnish. Since in their day clocks were expensive, and a household would not have one in every room, bracket

Jahrhunderts sind massive Messingwerke mit Spindelgang und Federantrieb mit Kette und Schnecke. Bedeutende Beispiele für meisterhafte Bracket Clocks stammen vom Londoner Uhrmacher Thomas Tompion (1639–1713). (de)

Since in their day clocks were expensive, and a household would not have one in every room, bracket clocks usually had handles to carry them from room to room. These clocks were almost always repeaters, that is striking clocks which could be made to repeat the striking of the hours at the pull of a lever or cord. This feature was used before artificial illumination to tell what time it was at night. However, because they were often used in bedrooms where the hourly striking of the bell could disturb sleepers, they either had a knob to silence the hourly striking, or did not strike on the hour at all but only at the pull of the cord. These were called 'silent pull repeaters'. (en)
- Un reloj bracket (traducción literal del término inglés: reloj sobre un soporte) es un antiguo tipo de reloj de mesa portátil fabricado en los siglos XVII y XVIII. El término se originó con pequeños relojes de péndulo accionados por peso (a veces llamados "relojes de soporte verdaderos") que tenían que montarse en un soporte en la pared para dejar espacio para sus pesos colgantes. Cuando se desarrollaron los relojes accionados por resorte, que no requerían pesos colgantes para accionarlos, continuaron fabricándose con el estilo de soporte. A menudo se componen de dos piezas a juego creadas como un conjunto: el reloj y su pequeño estante decorativo. Casi siempre están hechos de madera, a menudo de ébano, y casi siempre adornados con monturas de bronce dorado, incrustaciones de latón, chapa de madera o de carey, o barniz decorativo. Dado que en su día los relojes eran caros y las viviendas no disponían de uno en cada habitación, generalmente tenían unas asas para llevarlos de una habitación a otra. Estos relojes eran casi siempre repetidores, es decir, relojes con un mecanismo sonoro que marcaba las horas, al que se le daba cuerda girando una llave o tirando de una palanca. Esta característica se usaba antes de que se introdujese masivamente la iluminación artificial para saber qué hora era en la noche. Sin embargo, debido a que a menudo se usaban en dormitorios donde el toque de la campana cada hora podía molestar a los durmientes, tenían una perilla para silenciar el toque de la hora o no daban la hora en absoluto sino solo al tirar del cable. Estos fueron llamados 'repetidores de extracción silenciosos'. (es)
