A Pigeon Racing Clock is a clock specifically designed for the sport of Pigeon Racing. The Clock is set and sealed before a race starts and when the bird returns home a rubber ring, carried by the pigeon, is placed inside the clock. From this an average speed is measured and a winner of the race can be found.

Inside an older pigeon clock

Some old style pigeon clocks use thimbles.

Examples of Clocks are as follows:

Toulet

STB

Junior T3

In recent years, many pigeon flyers have began using Electric Timing Systems, where an electronic chip is used to record the pigeon's arrival time, instead of a rubber ring.
