Pippin:

People thought the pub in Hogsmeade had been inconsistently named "The
Hogs Head" in PS/SS and "The Three Broomsticks" in PoA, until it
turned out there were two pubs. 

IMO, just as Hogsmeade had more than one pub, the Weasleys have more
than one clock. From memory, since I am also too lazy to look this up,
 the grandfather clock mentioned in CoS is in the living room. The
kitchen clock, first mentioned in GoF, tells where members of the
Weasley family are and is the one that Mrs. Weasley carried about with
her.
