It is worth recalling that the clock was invented not to keep track of our work, but to remind monastic communities to stop work and turn to prayer repeatedly during the day. Rather than marking every moment as an identical and scarce commodity to be sold or invested or else lost, the monastic schedule marks time as the unfolding of God's patience.
The major reason an accurate clock was desired was for navigation purposes. If you have some accurate idea of what time it is and you can find the location of certain stars or the sun, you will know roughly where you are in terms of Longitude. Sailors needed some way, other then the sun, to accurately tell them what time it was.
so that we can tell what time it is
The clock was made for humans to maintain a schedule, and map out the day in a way we can understand and use. The clock has had a huge impact for the entire world. or humans got bored and wanted to build somthing.
