The present invention relates to a music box clock having a disc music box device in the watch body, and to allow at least a portion of the spare music box disc to be stored in the watch body so as to be seen from the front.

In general, it is known to use a pronunciation circuit, a speaker, and the like as the pronunciation means used for an alarm such as a clock.

In recent standing clocks and wall clocks, relatively large ones are provided with so-called operation devices in which decorations such as dolls are operated on time, and performance by electronic sounds is performed in accordance with the operation on time. In addition, many music box sounds are used for such performance.

Although music box performance is sometimes performed by such electronic sound as a music box clock (hereinafter, a pseudo music box clock), it is generally known that a music box clock is equipped with a mechanical music box device. Such a music box clock is a music box playing a predetermined piece of music, and is a long-board type sounding body having a plurality of sounding parts corresponding to the pitch, and the sounding body is pronounced at a predetermined performance timing by being disposed opposite to the sounding body.
