The development of the electric clock can be traced back to the late 19th century, when the first electromechanical clocks were invented. These early clocks used an electromagnet to power a mechanical movement that kept time, and were powered by a battery or other electrical source.
One of the first electric clocks was invented by French engineer Henri Châton in 1841. Châton's clock used a solenoid (a type of electromagnet) to power the clock's movement, and was driven by a battery. This was followed by the invention of the synchronous electric clock, which used a synchronous motor to keep time. This type of clock was first developed by Warren Marrison, an American inventor, in the early 20th century.
The development of the electric clock was a significant milestone in the history of timekeeping, as it provided a more accurate and reliable way of measuring time. Unlike mechanical clocks, more...
