Different types of clock are invented by different people. A minute hand, for example was invented by Josh Burgi in the year 1577. The word clock comes from the French word â??clocheâ?? means bell.
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.
Levi Hutchins is credited with inventing the first known mechanical alarm clock in 1787, which was a personal timepiece that had an alarm function to wake him up in the morning. This clock lacked a minute hand and was designed to ring only at 4 a.m.
Christian Huygens did not create the modern clock; however, he did invent the first pendulum clock in 1656, which was a significant advancement in timekeeping technology. This invention greatly improved the accuracy of clocks and contributed to the development of more precise timepieces in the future.
Levi Hutchins invented the first alarm clock in 1787 to wake himself up for work. He was a skilled clockmaker and wanted a reliable way to ensure he woke up early each day. Hutchins' invention paved the way for future developments in alarm clock technology.
yes, he invented a water organ that is considered the precursor of the modern pipe organ, and improved the water clock or clepsydra ('water thief'). The clepsydra kept more accurate time than anyclock invented until the Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens detailed the use of a pendulum to regulate a clock in the 17th century.

Yes. Chinese did invent the clock
His pendulum clock was patented in 1657.

No, Galileo did not invent the clock. The mechanical clock was invented in the 14th century, while Galileo was a 16th-17th century scientist known for his contributions to astronomy and physics, such as improving the telescope and supporting the heliocentric model of the solar system.

Ben Bannker did not invent the clock. He made a watch in 1753, apparently copying a pocket watch he borrowed.
