The Weasley clock means a way for the Weasely family to track the whereabouts of it's members.

The Weasley clock is a magical device in the Harry Potter series.

Instead of the Weasley clock telling time, the Weasley clock's 9 golden hands each represent a family member and point to various locations such as mortal peril, school, work and home which indicates their current situation.

The Weasley clock's primary function is to provide reassurance and a sense of connection to the family, especially during times of uncertainty or danger.

ANd it's often found in the Burrow in the kitchen in the Weasley family home.

Each of the 9 hands of the Weasley clock is engraved with the name of a Weasley family member and the clock face also has descriptive locations instead of numbers which include home, school, work, traveling, lost, hospital, prison and mortal peril.

And during the events of the Second Wizarding War, the clock also took on a more ominous tone, with most of the hands pointing to mortal peril, and this reflected the heightened danger and uncertainty faced by the Weasley family and the wizarding world as a whole.

The Weasley clock is also a symbol of family unity, connection and the ever present possibility of danger during times of conflict.
