The table clock was a so-called bracket, or "bracket", although this term is a little confusing, because this type of watches do not lie truly on the shelf, but probably were intended to be placed on a table, sideboard or fireplace, as it was in those years the site of the house where you used to concentrate the family and there were no other methods of distraction more than a good conversation. The bracket of the first years had the feature that was portable, that conditioned, to a large extent, its mechanism, and it would not be until 1800 when the escape palette was definitively replaced by the lever escapement in the watches of the bracket, which led to the development of clocks of a greater magnitude, since they were not moved to the assigned site, forming part of the decoration of the room.
