A balance spring, or hairspring, is a spring attached to the balance wheel in mechanical timepieces.

It causes the balance wheel to oscillate with a resonant frequency when the timepiece is running, which controls the speed at which the wheels of the timepiece turn, and thus the rate of movement of the hands.

A regulator lever is often fitted, which can be used to alter the free length of the spring and thereby adjust the rate of the timepiece.

Horology (via Latin horologium from Greek, from hṓra "hour; time" and -o- interfix and suffix -logy; literally "the study of time") is the art and/or science of measuring time.

Ancient Sanskrit language has a similar word hora (होरा) meaning hour.

This word is also used as a measurement of time.Clocks, watches, clockwork, sundials, hourglasses, clepsydras, timers, time recorders, marine chronometers and atomic clocks are all examples of instruments used to measure time.

In current usage, horology refers mainly to the study of mechanical time-keeping devices, while chronometry more broadly includes electronic devices that have largely supplanted mechanical clocks for the best accuracy and precision in time-keeping.

Bódog (Felix) Somló (1873–1920) was a Hungarian legal scholar.

Along with Hans Kelsen and Georg Jellinek, he belonged to the group of Austrian Legal Positivists.

Vitreous enamel, also called porcelain enamel, is a material made by fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between.

The powder melts, flows, and then hardens to a smooth, durable coating on metal, or on glass or ceramics.

So in technical terms fired enamelware is an integrated layered composite of glass and metal.

Enamelling is an old and widely adopted technology, for most of its history mainly used in jewelry and decorative art.

"Enamelled" and "enamelling" are the preferred spellings in British English, while "enameled" and "enameling" are preferred in American English.

A clock is an instrument to measure, keep, and indicate time.

The word clock is derived (via Dutch, Northern French, and Medieval Latin) from the Celtic words clagan and clocca meaning "bell".

A silent instrument missing such a striking mechanism has traditionally been known as a timepiece.

In general usage today a "clock" refers to any device for measuring and displaying the time.

Watches and other timepieces that can be carried on one's person are often distinguished from clocks.
