| Popular, somewhat all inclusive term for a large variety of small clocks, usually in a case that portrays a "theme" (such as a nautical, military or western motif), current events, comic characters, unusual materials or functions, or other inventive or fanciful styles. May incorporate animated movement, an electric lamp, a unique style of pendulum, etc. |

| OG or Ogee (Shelf, Wall) | |
| Refers to an American clock style with an S-shape, or wave-like, molding which frames the front of a rectangular case. It typically has a door in the front with clear glass in front of the dial and a reverse-painted or stenciled tablet below, sometimes with a clear portion for viewing the pendulum. Also found with a mirror ("looking glass") tablet. Produced in great numbers from around 1830 to 1914. |

| Picture Clock; Picture Frame (Wall) | |
| Similar terms referring to two different styles. The first generally refers to a spring driven clock which is incorporated into a framed picture or painting as part of the scene. Usually the clock appears in a church steeple or clock tower. Sometime the clock is incorporated into the frame itself above or beneath the picture. The second term refers to wall clocks with dials surrounded by a recessed, often highly decorated apron enclosed by a "picture frame" type molding. |
