On the turn of the XIV and XV centuries mantel and room clocks began often to be found. The first stuff for them was iron and the winding system of such clocks was founded on loads. Firstly they didn't vary from tower clocks by their layout and structure components.
In the XV century period clocks were put in walls' consoles. Centuries later timber corbel appeared as the element of the clocks' body. The style of it conformed to the whole design of the clock. Of course, in the Middle ages and later it was one of the most important parts of a room's decoration. In every apartment clocks played an important role. They were a part of the design composition that was stuck to the fashion of an age. Several centuries later appeared professional clockmakers. They sought to give face to every clock they made. We can mark out such remarkable persons as Roentgen, Goutier and Benemann. Their clocks were definitely magnificent and there were no analogues in the world. Only at the end of the eighteenth century the copies of the most notable models were found.
