Answer 1

Answer 2

"The first mechanical clock was probably invented in China in the late 1000's. However, this invention was never developed further, and later Chinese clocks were based on European models.
The first mechanical clocks in Western civilization were developed by a number of inventors during the late 1200's. These clocks were weight driven, but they had no pendulum or hands. A bell rang to indicate the hour. By the mid-1300's, the dial and hour hand had been added. The first spring-driven clocks were probably developed in Italy during the late 1400's."

Answer 3

The first "clock" was probably simply looking up at the sun and watching it move across the skies. The sundail is estimated to have been developed around 3500 BC.

The first mechanical clock was created around 1400 BC and water was the element that moved its machinery. It was developed in Greece.

Answer 4

Obviously some form of sundial came first, but I believe that there was a candle clock somewhere back in time, excuse the pun!
