Are there any clocks that are designed for those who don't see very good?
There are many styles of clocks that can be purchased specifically for those with poor eyesight.

Other clocks which are more popular include grandfather clocks or clocks that ring or make noise on the hour.
How do grandfather clocks work and what makes them different from other types of clocks?
Grandfather clocks work by using a pendulum and weights to keep time. The pendulum swings back and forth, regulating the movement of the clock's gears. This type of clock is different from others because of its tall, freestanding design and its traditional mechanical movement, which requires winding to keep accurate time.

How was accurate time established before electronic communication?
Pocket watches, wrist watches, grandfather clocks, and large church clocks do not actually require electronic powering. They are put together using gears and simple machines; in other words they are mechanical and not electronic. Before electricity was used to power watches and clocks, they had to be wound on a regular basis. Before clocks and watches, time was kept track of by the position of the sun in the sky.

How do quartz clocks work and what sets them apart from other types of clocks?
Quartz clocks work by using a small piece of quartz crystal that vibrates at a precise frequency when an electric current is applied. This vibration is converted into regular pulses that drive the clock's hands. What sets quartz clocks apart from other types of clocks is their accuracy and reliability. The quartz crystal's consistent vibration allows quartz clocks to keep time more accurately than mechanical clocks. Additionally, quartz clocks are typically more affordable and require less maintenance compared to other types of clocks.
What do clocks do that helps?
Clocks contribute nothing to modern lifestyle that could be considered of value. Native Americans and other aboriginal societies have managed to function for many milennia without any need for precise timekeeping. What clocks, watches, and other timekeeping devices have added to our society is stress, fear (of being late, missing deadlines, etc.), panic disorders, and other health disfunctions that can be traced to the inability to relax. Clocks are tyrants, dictators that assume control of your life and manipulate how you spend every breath of it.
