History of Timepieces

Time is one of the most valuable assets we have.  Once gone we can never get it back.

Timepieces were invented thousands of years ago in various forms and complexity.

It is believed that the keeping of time via portable and stationary sun-dials were probably developed in Egypt or Mesopotamia.

The ancient Egyptians were the first to split the day into two 12-hour periods.  They used obelisks to track the movement of the sun.  (aka time)  They developed water clocks, (similar to today’s hourglass).

Candle clocks, timesticks, and hourglasses were also used as ancient timekeeping devices.
