Usage notes

Clock originally denoted a mechanical timekeeping device that was able to mark the time with chimes or another sounding mechanism, distinguished from a timepiece which had no such mechanism and a horologe and other terms inclusive of sundials, clepsydras, and similar devices. Clock is now the general term for all timekeeping devices, inclusive of aspects of software that tracks and displays the time, but as a physical object it is still sometimes distinguished from a small portable watch and from nonmechanical timekeeping devices.
