History of clocks indicates that they were part of structures or architecture. It is a kind of jewel in the crown and ornamental clocks were integrated in to buildings to enhance the beauty and impact of the architecture.

The modern day clocks are not hand synchronized as they are updated by GPS and are always accurate according to zonal timings. Golf clocks come in 3 main varieties and they are post clocks for outdoor application, pace-of-play clocks for speeding up golf play and clubhouse clocks for time and decoration. Manufacturers of the contemporary are now coming up with elegant looking Rolex model clocks with latest mechanism and they are self reliant for power and time.
