Something about the invention of the mechanical clock was a revolutionary element to the development of timekeeping in the Middle Ages

Tick

Oh complex water-clocks in antiquity became outdated The sundial the codifier for such clocks were also outdated Their prior use had been simple The sundial to keep time in the day and the water-clock to keep time in the night

The water-clock was also used to keep time on days on which it was cloudy The two were best used in conjunction So decreed Emperor Theoderic in a letter to King Gundoband of Burgundy The time was 507CE

Tick

Unusually in 807CE Harun-al-Rashid deigned to give an elaborate water-clock to Charlemagne It bore a resemblance to the cuckoo-clocks that are used today but it used twelve knights instead their motion closing the doors

Tick

Running further water-clocks were adorned with decorations showing heavenly battles Showing angels andticktickticktickticktickticktick but this was not to last

Tick

Now in 1271 Robertus Anglicus described attempts by astronomers to create a clock usable via weights The first evidence of this from other accounts were in the fourteenth century when clock construction expenses appear in the records of various monasteries

Oh in a similar format to water clocks the mechanical clock could keep time in both night and in day but they had errors

Tick

For they had to be kept against sundials in order to keep them in time They could not keep time ergo they were poor clocks but they were useful in the history of clocks and for the history of ticktickticktickticktickticktickticktickticktick

Tick

Furthermore there is a distinction between sundials and clocks as pointed out by Anthony Turner one is a time finder and the other a time keeper Time finders track the motion of the heavens as a sundial does by it's very being And clocks keep track of the passage of time without the aide of the heavens but perhaps ticktickticktickticktickticktickticktick helped I ask you

The presumably French Jacques Le Goff linked clocks to merchants who needed to control labour time in expanding cities

Tick

He also said that the merchants time replaced church time which had dominated previously

Tick

Enough of Le Goff and onwards to Jacupo deDondi of 1344

Legendary Jacupo deDondi created a clock on the Palazzo del Capitano at Padua and it earned him the title of Dall Orogolio

Tick

I wonder at the name of the son Perhaps it was Giovanni deDondi who died in 1839 due to tickticktickticktickticktick and the never ending ticking by tickticktickticktickticktick He designed a clock called the Astrarium in 1364 and that was when ticking started

Tick

Giovanni deDondi made the Astrarium which had seven dials one for each planet Except there were more as was dicovered alter hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Tick

Hahahahaha the seven dials showed the movements of the Ptolemaic system

Tick

To the common people the idea of God being the master clock maker and clocks a metaphor for His universe proved popular hahahahaha ticktickticktickticktickticktick disagrees
