Who invented the quarts clock?
In the 1920's the first Quartz were invented. This works by applying a certain voltage and pressure inside the clock. This will vibrate or oscillate the Quartz at a constant rate. This vibration moves the hands on the clock in a very precise manner, making them very cheap and very accurate. These are the clocks are used everyday in our houses, offices and schools and in many cases wrists. There are other types of clocks, such as atomic clocks, but these are not widely used and are not yet perfected.
Who invented the atomic clock?
The first atomic clock was invented in 1948 by the US Bureau of Standards.The first practical atomic clock was invented by English physicist Louis Essen in the 1955.Atomic clocks use the energy changes that take place in atoms to keep track of time. Atomic clocks are so accurate that they lose or gain no more than 1 second once every 2 or 3 million years.The most accurate, modern-day atomic clocks will neither lose nor gain a second in 168 million years.

Greenawalt, an employee of the Pennwood Company. Greenawalt's patent was issued in February 1935. Lawson stated selling digital clocks in 1934.
When was the clock equipped with the minute hand?
clocks got minute hands for the first time in 1680.
What year was the digital clock invented?
The first digital clock was patented in 1903 by Eugene Fitch. The first widely available digital clocks were made by Lawson Clocks, Ltd beginning in 1934. Vintage Lawson clocks, particularly from the art deco period, are quite valuable today. See here: http://decopix.com/the_lawson_clock_story
