Talking clock rumors that other talking clocks may have been produced afterward, it is not until around 1910 that another talking clock was introduced, when Bernhard Hiller created a clock that used a belt with a recording on it to announce the time.

On its first day, February 14, 1933, more than 140,000 calls were received. London
