One of the most important inventions for the mankind is the first accurate clock which was designed by Christian Huygens in 1657. Christian Huygens was born in the Hague, Holland. Mechanical clocks were made in the 14th century but they were too inaccurate to have minute hands. Shadow clocks or sundials are the oldest instruments for telling the time. They were developed more than 4,000 years ago. Water clocks were used in ancient Egypt. Time was measured by how long it took water to flow out of holes in a container. Sand clocks were used in the Middle Ages. If they took an hour to empty they were called hourglasses. Today they are still often used as kitchen egg-timers. Pocket watches were invented in about 1500 and wristwatches started to get popular around 1900 when they were made mainly in France and Switzerland.
