The first Quartz Crystal was applied in a clock in 1929. The Sandglass was used by navies as a timekeeper and to find the speed of the ship. The concept of time, and how it continues to flow, and how we are intertwined with this cosmic metabolism continues to baffle all. Candle Clocks. The Candle was used as an alarm clock by placing a nail into the wax,
Clocks must also have a means of keeping track of the increments of time and be able to display the result. All clocks must have two basic components: They must have a regular, constant or repetitive process or action by which to mark off equal increments of time. , Clock a History
The wheel or ring that replaced the verge and foliot escapement is called a Balance Wheel, which was first used in about 1400. sundials. The Second is now established as 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of cesium-133. Later named clepsydras or "water thieves” by the Greeks who began using them around 325 BCE, these were stone vessels with sloping sides that allowed water to drip at a nearly constant rate from a small hole near the bottom.
Obelisks—slender, tapering, four-sided monuments—were built as early as 3500 BCE. Eli Terry received the first clock patent issued in the United States and developed the techniques for mass production of clocks in the 1800's. International Date Line ---This meridian is located at 180° longitude out in the Pacific Ocean. George Grahamn of London, England in about 1720 modified the anchor escapement to eliminate recoil, creating the Deadbeat Escapement. In ancient Egypt Water Clocks were used to keep time. and this made it possible to have some accuracy in timekeeping.
The Atomic Clock, with an accuracy of better than one second in six million years, known as the
The added complexity was aimed at making the flow more constant by regulating the pressure of the water and at providing fancier displays of the passage of time. Clep'sy'dras is a Greek word meaning kleptein,"to steal"; hydor,"water". Go Here, For more information on how the new Atomic Clock keeps today's time:

It has also been called a Sand Clock. The electric current replaced the weight and spring as a source of power. The origin of the first Clock
The earth rotates 15 degrees of longitude per hour, so the earth's 360 degrees were divided into 24 zonesand each zone measures 15 degrees in width.
The minute hand begins to come into use in about 1680, and the second hand a few years later as the use of the pendulum developed. Other clepsydras were cylindrical or bowl-shaped containers designed to slowly fill with water coming in at a constant rate. However, the verge and foliot continued to be used until around 1650. This is the meridian that marks the place where navigators change their date by one day on a transpacific voyage. atomic states involves laser-manipulation rather than magnetic-deflection methods. water, or mercury which runs into the lower compartment during a period of time. This clock was accurate to a few milliseconds a day.
