Mechanical clocks were invented in the latter part of the thirteenth century and between the late fifteenth and early seventeenth centuries, luminaries such as Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo and Christiaan Huygens invented and perfected the pendulum clock.

From around 1500 BC, the ancient Egyptians and later the Greeks and Chinese, used sundials and water clocks. Humans first kept time by observing the sun, moon and stars. Sometimes though, they’re also absolutely massive.

Whether a small analogue wrist watch or the digital displays on a multitude of domestic devices, the ways in which we keep track of time are innovative and varied.
