Since the beginning of civilization, humans have searched for a reliable way to keep track of time. In the earliest days, months, seasons, and years were tracked by careful monitoring of the phases of the moon.
Later the sun and stars were also used to help early people track the passing of time.The Sumerians used the sundial to divide days into two hour segment
The Egyptians created a device called Cleopatra’s needle to divide their days into two-hoursegments while the ancient Romans devised a way of dividing time into night and day.
A pressing need for more precise measurements led to the invention of the water clock and then the hourglass.
These inventions were limited as they relied on water and sand, respectively, to function.
The search continued,searching for a way of tracking time independent of the seasons or nature.

In 1582, Galileo discovered that a pendulum could be used to track time. He drew the first designs for a grandfather clock, though he did not build it.
Finally, in 1656, Christian Huygens built the first known grandfather clock, putting Galileo’s discovery to use.
Though the grandfather clock did not keep accurate time, it was a major breakthrough in timekeeping technology.
Through the years, various inventors tried to improve on the design, but with little luck.
Finally, in 1670, William Clement discovered that the grandfather clocks worked better with a longer pendulum.
Of course, this required a taller clock. Clement named his newly designed clocks long-case clocks. This was the predecessor of the wooden grandfather clocks that we know today.
