Ogee clocks have a wooden case with two glass panels, a white-painted zinc dial, and often reverse-painted images or mirrors on the lower glass pane. They are weight-driven, with cases made of inexpensive wood finished with veneer. Their most distinguishing feature is their case, which has front outer edges curved into an S-shape (ogee curve). Later versions of ogee clocks included features such as simple calendars and alarms and used springs instead of weights to power the movement.
