  • Date Aperture - A date aperture is a cut out section in the face of a watch or clock, displaying the day of the month.
  • Hood - In longcase clocks, the hood is the wooden case that surrounds the works and dial, and includes the glass front, which is usually hinged, so the door can be opened to wind the clock or adjust the time. In 18th and 19th century longcase clocks the hood usually slides forward for removal, allowing access to the works.
  • Spandrel - An architectural term that in horology refers to the triangular ornamental decoration in the corners of of the dial plate. The spandrels are usually of cast brass and may be additonally chased and engraved. On painted dial clocks the spandrels are also usually painted.
  • George Iii - George III (1738 - 1820) was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 to 1820.
  • Calendar Aperture -
    A calendar aperture on a clock refers to a small window on the clock face that displays the day, month or year or all of these. The aperture is usually located on the clock's dial with the date data recorded on a wheel which is designed to rotate to show the correct date information.

    Some clocks have a manual adjustment for the date, while others are designed to automatically adjust for the date, including for leap years. The calendar aperture is a useful feature found on clocks from the 16th century, and on many types of clocks, including wall clocks, alarm clocks and wristwatches.
