The History Of Clocks

http://home.rochester.rr.com/kjmpage/clockshistory.html

Extractions: December 2, 2001 e-mail me Since the beginning of time, humans have been looking for better ways to answer the age-old question: "What time is it?" Throughout the last 4,500 years or so, methods used to tell time have evolved greatly, and are still improving today. From the most primitive sundials to the advanced cesium fountain clock of today, scientists have always worked to make clocks that are more accurate than the last generation of timekeeping devices. The earliest humans used the position of the sun in the sky to approximate the time of day. If the sun was on the horizon, it meant that either the day was starting or ending. If the sun was high in the sky, it was about midday. However, this system had obvious flaws: you couldnt tell the exact time, you couldnt see the sun at night, and the sun could be hard to see if there was heavy cloud cover. Then, in around 3500 B.C., the Egyptians began to construct huge obelisks which served as primitive sundials. These huge pillars told time by casting shadows on the ground, which changed position depending on the time of day. This was a large improvement over simply looking at the sun, because it was much easier to tell the time by looking at a shadow on the ground than by hurting your eyes looking at the sun. By 1500 B.C., smaller, more refined sundials begin to appear, although, like previous sundials, they had limitations: they did not work at night or on cloudy days, and were not very accurate.

http://www.which-clocks.com/

Extractions: Most of us wake up every morning to an alarm clock, we look at the time during work at our wall clock. Clocks have become an integral part of our society, how often do we look to a wall expecting to see a clock? The story of the clock is one not fully documented or fully known, a story of progression on many fronts by many different contributors, sometimes simultaneously. The grandfather clock, sometimes called longcase clocks, is a pendulum clock that stands on the floor and is generally six and a half feet tall. The name grandfather clock comes from the song Grandfathers Clock by Clay Work (1875). The grandfather or longcase clocks were the most precise clocks for over 200 years (until the quartz crystal came along). The mantel clocks become popular due to fireplaces. The mantel clock was the perfect decorative item for the mantel (over the fireplace). The mantel clocks were extremely popular in France between 1700-1900, and there are still many fine antique French mantel clocks available today. The mantel clock, although popular for stylish reasons, came about with the invention of coiled main springs. This being an important invention for carriage and mantel clocks and also watches. The wall clock is highly practical and comes in many varieties, electric, master/slave, atomic, battery operated, cuckoo clocks etc... The wall clock marks no progressive stage in clock development, but is by far the most common type of clocks seen around now days. The grandfather, mantel and cuckoo clocks still hold an aura of style, but the common wall clocks are found everywhere.

A Brief History of Clocks: From Thales to Ptolemy By: Jesse Weissman Look at the comments on this paper. The earliest example, in western culture, of a celestial sphere is attributed to the presocratic philosopher Thales. Unfortunately, little is known about Thales' sphere beyond Cicero's description in the De re publica For Gallus told us that the other kind of celestial globe, which was solid and contained no hollow space, was a very early invention, the first one of that kind having been constructed by Thales of Mileus, and later marked by Eudoxus with the constellations and stars which are fixed in the sky. (Price 56) This description is helpful for understanding the basic form of Thales' sphere, and for pinpointing its creation at a specific point in time. However, it is clearly a simplification of events that occurred several hundred years before Cicero's lifetime. Why would Thales' create a spherical representation of the heavens and neglect to indicate the stars? Of what use is a bowling ball for locating celestial bodies? Considering Eudoxus' preoccupation with systems of concentric spheres, a more logical explanation is that Thales marked his sphere with stars, and Eudoxus later traced the ecliptic and the paths of the planets on the exterior. The celestial sphere in question probably resembled this

Maris Taylor Functional Art Clocks & Switchplates
Contemporary interior and personal accessories including clocks, candle holders, fountains, vases, letter openers, and card cases.
http://www.maristaylor.com/

Extractions: 'Distinctive, affordable, customized, hand-crafted contemporary interior accessories' is not only difficult to say, but very difficult to find in this machine made, high tech world of ours. Maris Taylor Design offers an oasis of simplicity and elegance. Principal designer and artist, Scott Gruber, creates a wide spectrum of functional art objects including clocks, candleholders, light switch covers, knobs, pillboxes, and business card cases. The ancient art of fusing glass onto copper (known as copper enameling), natural stone and brushed metals are the three primary elements of Mr. Gruber's work. He is inspired and influenced as much by architectural forms as by earth forms. His ability to bring together diverse, some would even say wildly unrelated, materials and styles must be what creates the contemporary yet timeless quality of the Maris Taylor Design line.
