Abstract

An electrical clock, particularly a quartz clock, with a movement case receiving a time-producing and time-indicating device, on the rear side of the movement case setting members being provided for the clock time and for an alarm device, and a mount in which the movement case is insertable in different relative positions relative to the mount. A viewing glass covers the time-indicating device. The movement case with the viewing glass form a self-contained unit. The mount is formed as a housing surrounding on all sides at least the rear side of the movement case and has an inner periphery which corresponds to the periphery of the movement case, the movement case being detachably catchably insertable within the inner periphery of the housing. The housing is formed at its outer periphery for connection to attachment means. The setting means accessible from the outside of said housing are mounted in the housing, said setting means, when the movement case is inserted in the housing, being operatively connected, in all relative positions of the movement case in the housing, with the setting member of the alarm device.
