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!

Was the water clock the first clock in the world?

It was an old fashion water clock. As a method of telling time, the Sun could be considered the oldest clock in the world. Just by looking at its position relative to the ground, early humans could tell if it was morning, midday, evening, and nighttime. The sundial was developed as a more accurate way to tell this time, and eventually the water clock, mechanical clock and digital clock came along as steadily more accurate versions.
