History of time measuring devices spans not only modern periods of our history when mechanical engineers enabled us to infuse clocks and watches into our culture, but also goes much further back in time – all the way back to the birth of modern civilization. There in Babylon and Ancient Egypt, scientists and astronomers first came to conclusion that movement of celestial bodies can be used to precisely measure time. Their initiative and ingenuity brought us first time measuring devices – sundials.
