Time clock - A time clock is a mechanical timepiece that was used to assist in tracking the hours an employee of a company worked. This was accomplished by inserting a heavy paper card, called a time card, into a slot on the time clock.

Real-time clock - A real-time clock (RTC) is a computer clock (most often in the form of an integrated circuit chip) that keeps track of the current time even when the computer is turned off. It is used in many kinds of computers, and is present in all modern personal computers.

Clock network - A clock network is a set of clocks designed to always show the exact same time by communicating with each other. Clock networks usually include a central master clock kept in sync with an official time source, and one or more slave clocks which receive and display the time from the master.

Smiling time - The expression 'smiling time' refers to the practice, standard in the watch and clock industry, to have the clock's hands stopped at ten past ten (or ten to two) when taking the photographs of the products to be used in advertising. This is done so as not to cover any of the features of the clock's face under the hands, and to leave a 'cheerful' impression (hence 'smiling' time).
