Origin Of Clocks

• Some people say that the clock dates back to 2,000 years B.C. This is when the first evidence of sundial usage was found. Another important date is 330 A.D. when the hourglass was documented.

It wasn’t until 1360 that the first mechanical clock was constructed in France, according to ClockInformation.com. Eight years later, clockmakers in England began producing the time-keeping device as a commercial product.

In 1386, England’s first known public clock was located at Salisbury Cathedral. It had no hands and only indicated the time by chiming.
