Early forms of timekeeping included shadow clocks developed by the Egyptians, hourglasses used around 100 BC, and water clocks called clepsydras used by the Greeks, Romans, and Chinese. 3. The first mechanical clocks were developed in Europe in the 1300s and were improved over time, with a Dutch inventor designing the first pendulum clock in 1656, followed by development of the atomic clock after World War II, which remains the most accurate clock today.
