Analogue Watches in Kenya

Since ancient times, people have measured time by the sun and moon. In the 3rd millennium BC. the Sumerians invented the sixagesimal system of calculation. They began to divide by 12 o'clock in the afternoon and 12 o'clock at night already in 2000 BC. in Egypt. At the same time, the "sundial" clock - "skaphis" was invented, which show a certain period of time with the help of the shadow. The problem with this watch was not accuracy, since the "hour" on this watch was not the same in different periods of the year. Later, to standardize the measured time, which would not depend on climatic and weather conditions, they began to use water and sand placed in a sealed flask, which gave us "sand" and "water" watches. The period of their invention fell on the 14th century BC, and they were widely used in Egypt and Greece. They also tried to measure time with the help of fire. 1000 years BC. in China, time was measured with a burning candle and marks applied to it. In China, the alarm clock was also invented for the first time. It was a tape in which a small stone was e Analogue Watches in Kenya mbedded, which fell on a metal tray when the fire reached it. Humanity got acquainted with mechanical watches much later. The first recorded sources tell of clocks on the towers in the 13th century AD. Such wheel clocks displayed only hours (without the minute hand) and their accuracy depended on the frictional force of the nodes moving in the middle of them. But already in the 15th century, spring mechanisms appeared, which gave impetus to the creation of smaller copies of tower clocks - this is how the first pocket watches and the first watchmakers appeared, which have now become well-known manufactories and companies. Well, then, in 1656-1658, a clock with a pendulum mechanism appeared. In the same period, minute and second hands appear on the watch dial. The year 1795 was marked by the invention of a mechanism called the tourbillon - which was designed to compensate for the gravity of the earth on the precision of the watch. The first half of the 20th century gave us a battery and an electronic clock with time display in the form of digital indication on the display. In 1969, Seiko created the world's first analog quartz watch, and in 1973 launched the world's first digital quartz watch with an LCD screen. or just enter your name and email 100 A0 Manufacturer's warranty RETURN WITHIN 14 DAYS Consumer rights Protection Kiev, st.
