The Song-era Chinese had built elaborate clocks centuries before the Europeans, but the West was the first part of the world where clocks became a regular part of urban life. The word "clock" comes from the word for bell. The first mechanical clocks that appeared around 1300 in Western Europe were simply bells with an automatic mechanical device to strike the correct number of hours.
