    Peter Heinlein invented the first modern mechanical clock in the 17th century, which resembled modern clocks. Wall clock design became a focus later that century, as owning one indicated higher social class and prestige. While the mechanism remained unchanged until the 19th century, wall clock designs varied during this period. Quartz clocks then became popular and affordable, making them common in homes and public spaces, though smart clocks are now emerging as the newest technology.

    MODERN INVENTION “WALL CLOCK/CLOCK”

    \\
    Name: Kristal Jane A. Singcol

    The inventor is Peter Heinlein, born in Germany, invented the first


    modern mechanical clock, which was very similar to the clocks that we
    have today. Beginning in the seventeenth century, people started to
    focus more on wall clock design. In fact, owning a wall clock was a way
    of signaling class and prestige. While the mechanism of the wall clock
    did not change at all until the nineteenth century, it did go through a
    number of design variations during that period.
    At some point, we came to the Quartz clock, which might be called
    the most popular clock of all time. Quartz-made wall clocks are quite
    affordable and therefore more common in homes and public spaces. It
    seems the age of the smart clock is here, and Glance is one of its
    leading designs.
