Clock was found by Simon Norton in May 1970. It serves as the logo pattern for WinLifeSearch.

Clock is the fifth or sixth most common oscillator in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being about as frequent as the pentadecathlon, but much less frequent than the blinker, toad, beacon or pulsar. It is surprisingly rare considering its small size.^[1] It is also the sixty-second most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.^[2]
