Best Answer

The clock is one of the oldest human inventions , meeting the need to consistently measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units of the day, lunar month and the yearThe first major advance in clock construction occurred in Europe during the 14th century when the first mechanical clock ever made was created by one Henry de Vick r King Charles V of France Spring-driven clocks appeared during the 1400s, although they are often erroneously credited to Nurnburg watchmaker Peter Heinlin(or Henle, or Hele) around 1511. The earliest existing spring driven clock is the chamber clock given to Peter the Good, Duke of Burgundy, around 1430, now in the German Isches National Museum. The first record of a minute hand on a clock is 1475
