They were hung from a hook on the wall and weights hung down below them on ropes, later chains which than evolved into the most popular pendulums. There were up to three weights - for the time, the striking and sometimes also an alarm. The first clocks were made of iron; later brass became the preferred metal, often with thickly gilded dials.
