The in-built radio synchronisation (DCF receiver) is your safest guarantee for absolute accuracy. With the latest modules, software upgrades can be performed remotely. The electronic CHRONOS® synchronisation and winding system for mechanical clocks enables us to invisibly fit historical, mechanical tower clocks with electronic controls.

Automation of your ringing bell installation
Ringing is electronically controlled by the MOVOTRON® ringing system: this exclusive Clock-o-matic system ensures the bells and the bell tower are efficiently protected. The resounding result is perfectly in keeping with the tradition of manual bell ringing as it existed of old. Moreover, the MOVOTRON® ringing system is compatible with any existing installation. The TEMPORA® and APOLLO® III signal clockworks see to the manual or automated performance of all bell functions such as ringing, chiming, manual chiming, Roman mourning and Angelus.

Automation of your carillon installation
The automatic carillon system that announces the time is at the origin of the hand-played carillon. This automatic carillon playing continues to resound from all carillon towers on the hour, the half-hour and quite often on the quarters too. Automatic chimes evolved from the historical music drum with (adjustable) note styluses into computer-controlled systems. Clock-o-matic’s APOLLO® carillon computer meets the strictest health and safety standards to automatically provide a set of bells with music. The great convenience of use enables carillonneurs to program and change music with consummate ease.
- Clock-o-matic has an impressive track record, both in new carillon projects and in major carillon restorations whereby the need to conserve existing heritage is a central concern.
- we offer our long-standing experience from the design stage
- all components are designed and built in our own workshops to the customer’s specific needs and expectations
