HISTORY OF THE CLOCK

  • 500 BCE

    CLEPSYDRA

    CLEPSYDRA
    Mechanism for measuring time by the regulated flow of a liquid into or out of a graduated vessel, thus giving two different types of clocks according to the direction of flow.
  • 201 BCE

    SOLAR CLOCK

    SOLAR CLOCK
    This instrument was able to measure the natural time (days, years, lunar phases, etc.) in conventional units (hours, minutes or seconds).
  • Mar 6, 900

    HOURGLASS

    HOURGLASS
    It Is a mechanical instrument used to measure a certain length of time. It has two connected glass bulbs allowing a regulated flow of material, usually fine sand, from the top to the bottom, and only requires the potential energy of gravity for its operation.

    MECHANICAL CLOCK

    MECHANICAL CLOCK
    It Is a type of watch that uses a mechanical procedure to measure the passage of time, distinguishing itself from those who measure time from a measurable natural phenomenon

    POCKET WATCH

    POCKET WATCH
    It Is called the watch that by its small size can be carried in a pocket and usually, it has a chain hanging metallic (gold, silver, nickel) to hold it called leontina. Pocket watches are deprecated, as they have been replaced by the wristwatch.
  • PENDOUS CLOCK

    PENDOUS CLOCK
    They are characterized by using an oscillating weight to measure the time. The advantage of the pendulum to accurately measure time it is a harmonic oscillator: its roll cycles occur at equal time intervals, depending only on their length. The pendulum clock was the most accurate timing system available, so its use became widespread.
  • QUARTZ WATCH

    QUARTZ WATCH
    It´s an electric watch that has a piece of quartz which generates regular pulses that allows the measurement of time
  • DIGITAL WATCH

    DIGITAL WATCH
    The operation of these watches is electronic, indicates the time by numbers
  • OPTICAL ATOMIC WATCH

    OPTICAL ATOMIC WATCH
    An atomic watch is a clock device that uses an electronic transition frequency in the microwave, optical, or ultraviolet region.
  • OPINION

    OPINION
    Using a watch is the best way to show the personality because by showing the color and the model you can give many options of the person
