Benjamin Banneker's clock was a handmade wooden clock that he constructed in the late 1700s. The clock was notable for being one of the first clocks made entirely in America and for its precision and accuracy. Unfortunately, the fate of Banneker's clock is unknown as it was lost to history and no longer exists today.
No, Benjamin Banneker did not invent the first clock. He was known for his work as a mathematician, astronomer, and surveyor. Banneker is famously known for his wooden clock that he built in the 18th century.

The invention of the mechanical clock is usually credited to Christian Huygens, a Dutch scientist, who built the first pendulum clock in 1656. However, the concept of tracking time through mechanical devices has been traced back to various civilizations such as the ancient Greeks and Chinese.
Benjamin Banneker's creation of the first clock in the United States showcased the intellectual capabilities of African Americans, challenging stereotypes of the time. It also highlighted the contributions of African Americans to science and technology, paving the way for greater recognition and acceptance in society. This achievement inspired future generations of African Americans to pursue education and careers in STEM fields.
Misplacement after cleaning or proof of time warps is the significance of the captain's clock being upside down on the half brig Mary Celeste. The descriptions of the landing party from Captain David Morehouse's Dei Gratia and of the Gibraltar court records reveal that Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs' clock face was one of the items amiss on Mary Celeste. Some researchers tend toward an explanation of the face being removed for routine cleaning and replaced upside down whereas others turn toward such paranormal explanations as time warps.
