how do you turn off a big wall clock, &?
if its going i cant lay it on its back right? its a "regulator"
the answer may seam simple but if it is a spring wound clock (most regulators are) you simply open the back enough to stop the movement (this can be done by Simply stopping the movement with your finger)
to re start it at the other end just wind it up the motion involved starts the movement
if it is a battery powered one just remove the battery

Quartz Wall Clocks create reliable time pieces
A quartz wall clock is a clock that uses an electronic oscillator that is regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. This crystal oscillator creates a signal with very precise frequency, so that quartz clocks are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than good mechanical clocks. Generally, some form of digital logic counts the cycles of this signal and provides a numeric time display, usually in units of hours, minutes, and seconds. Since the 1970s, they have become the most widely used timekeeping technology.

Chemically, quartz is a compound called silicon dioxide. When a crystal of quartz is properly cut and mounted, it can be made to vibrate, or oscillate, using an alternating electric current. The frequency at which the crystal oscillates is dependent on its shape and size, and the positions at which electrodes are placed on it. If the crystal is accurately shaped and positioned, it will oscillate at a desired frequency; in wall clocks and watches, the frequency is usually 32,768 Hz, as a crystal for this frequency is conveniently small, and as this frequency is a power of two and can easily be counted using a 15-bit binary digital counter. Once the circuit supplying power to the crystal counts that this number of oscillations have occurred, it increases the recorded time by one second. This property, of changing shape under an electric current, is known as piezoelectricity. Such crystals were once used in low-end phonograph cartridges: the movement of the stylus (needle) would flex a quartz crystal, which would produce a small voltage, which was amplified and played through speakers. Many materials can be formed into plates that will resonate. However, since quartz can be directly driven (to flex) by an electric signal, no additional speaker or microphone is required.
Quartz has the further advantage that its size does not change much as temperature fluctuates. Fused quartz is often used for laboratory equipment that must not change shape along with the temperature, because a quartz plate's resonance frequency, based on its size, will not significantly rise or fall. Similarly, a quartz clock will remain relatively accurate as the temperature changes.
Quartz wall clocks come in a wide range of styles and colours and because the quartz mechanism offers a reliable time keeping piece they are by far the most common of the modern wall clocks. Quartz wall clocks come in a wide variety of colours, sizes and styles so you can choose this reliable time keeper for virtually any room in your house.
