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.
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.
