Atomic clocks are the most accurate watches for practical use today. So precise that they are deviated by several seconds over many thousands of years, so they are used to calibrate watches and other time tracking devices

 

Throughout history , several clocks have been documented :

 

The earliest known clock with a water-powered movement mechanism, which conveyed circular energy to alternating movements.

 

At first the Egyptians divided the day into two 12 hour shifts and used large oblibris to monitor the solar movement.

The development of the spiral spring technology in the early 15th century enabled mobile watches to be developed into the first pocket watches in the 17th century .

In 1675, Huygens and Robert Hook invented the spiral balance spring designed to control the speed of the balance of the balance wheel. This crucial advance has finally enabled accurate pocket watches. This has made great progress in the accuracy of pocket watches.
