Beehive clocks are clocks that are in the shape of a beehive, meaning that they have a curved top. The most popular beehive clocks were built by Seth Thomas, and some of these still survive and are very valuable collectors' pieces. The clocks are pendulum driven, and are usually constructed of wood and brass. They generally chime on both the half hour and the hour, and are the type of clock that you can display anywhere in your house. Some of them are more flashy and decorative, while some are more plain and practical. On the back of most beehive clocks is a wooden panel that can be removed simply by sliding a small mettle knob over to the side. This will reveal the metal inner workings of the clock, and on a working model you will be able to see the pendulum swing here.
