I think all egyptians used water clocks.
Water clocks are not commonly used today as they have been replaced by more accurate timekeeping devices such as wristwatches, smartphones, and digital clocks. Water clocks were used in ancient times to measure time by tracking the flow of water from one container to another.
Keeping time, in the days before mechanical clocks.
Before electricity, people made mechanical clocks that were powered by weights or springs. These clocks used gears, escapements, and pendulums to keep time accurately. Sundials and water clocks were other types of timekeeping devices used before the invention of electricity.
Water clocks known as clepsydra, which measured time by the flow of water from one container to another. These clocks had markings that indicated the passing hours as the water dripped.
Early clocks were powered by various means such as weights, springs, and water. Weight-driven clocks used hanging weights that would slowly descend, providing energy to keep the clock running. Spring-driven clocks utilized a wound-up spring that would gradually release its energy to regulate the clock's movement. Water clocks used the flow of water to measure time and could also power mechanical components.
The first mechanical clocks were introduced in the 14th century. These early clocks were weight-driven and used gears and escapements to regulate the movement of the hands. Prior to this, timekeeping devices were primarily sundials or water clocks.
In Greek and Roman times, water clocks were used.
The Romans did not have clocks. They used sundials
Sun clocks were adjusted by moving the position of the gnomon to account for the changing angle of sunlight, while water clocks were recalibrated by adjusting the flow rate of water through the mechanism.
Oh, dude, the water clock was like the OG clock, you know? It was all about water flowing and telling time way back in ancient times. Then came the good ol' mechanical clocks, like the cuckoo clocks and grandfather clocks. So, technically, the water clock was like the grandpa of all clocks!
Some common objects people in the past used to measure time include sundials, water clocks, hourglasses, and candle clocks. These were effective tools for tracking time before the invention of mechanical clocks and watches.
Clocks are primarily used for timekeeping purposes in America.
