| Grandfather clocks have a clock face, with pendulum and weights enclosed in a thin, tall and freestanding wooden case. They evolved from wall clocks when the astronomers in the 1500s needed more accurate clocks. So, the astronomers made the pendulums longer. Years later, the grandfather clock became less specialized. And modern manufacturers encased them in elongated cases so they could stand on the floor, hence, they are also known as floor clocks. The enhancements of floor clocks continue to evolve.
