Using high-quality batteries is crucial for maintaining the performance and accuracy of these clocks. High-quality batteries provide a consistent and reliable power source, which is essential for the intricate quartz mechanisms that most of these clocks use. For instance, the Clock Topiary 60cm Glass relies on a steady power supply to keep accurate time, and low-quality batteries may lead to time discrepancies or even stop the clock from working altogether.
High-quality batteries also tend to have a longer lifespan compared to cheaper alternatives, reducing the frequency of battery replacements. This is particularly important for larger clocks, such as the Clock Orlo or the Clock Maison White 45.5CM, where accessing the battery compartment might require effort due to their placement or mounting. Additionally, the use of high-quality batteries helps in preventing leakage that could potentially damage the internal components of the clock, thereby extending its overall lifespan. So, for optimal performance and longevity, investing in high-quality batteries is highly recommended.
