Calendars And Timekeeping Devices

Looking for calendars and timekeeping devices or tools? This page will help you out. By the way, did you know that...

For every minute spent in organizing, an hour is earned.

That the clock is one of the oldest timekeeping inventions?

If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. The first caveman probably enjoyed looking at the wondrous, abundantly clear starry nights and imagining possibilities of what could be.

Eventually, someone, in a fit of extreme boredom (or insatiable excitement)...

Would have taken a small dinosaur bone to the cave wall and scratched in some sort of measurements.

The telephone - another amazing invention!

Maybe something like...

Been here 40 days now, very cold, gigantic creatures are everywhere... HECK... What's that!!? (End of story!)

If only we could go back to those days. (Just for a quick visit perhaps!)

Maybe those first cave wall scratches were the beginning of the first calendars.

From there, we slowly evolved, creating handy tools like these:

  • Sundials
  • Candle (and water) clocks
  • The hourglass to measure and indicate an arbitrary period of time

In 1840 Alexander Bain came to the rescue and patented the electric clock. His cool idea removed the need for winding, and, you guessed it - saved us even more time!

And now, you'll find timekeeping devices such as talking clocks, digital clocks, atomic clocks, and many more. All created to help us manage our precious time better.
