Christian Huygens.

Christian Huygens(April 1629-July 1695)

Mathematician, physicist, astronomer in the Netherlands. He actually made the pendulum clock for the first time. He also devised a balance spring, a temp. This contributed greatly to miniaturization and high accuracy of the portable clock.


16th June, 1657 is the era of precision clocks. Christian Huygens attached the pendulum clock to the Netherlands parliament. In this way, the pendulum became used as a governor instead of the foliot, the accuracy was improved, and furthermore, the minute hand was assembled to the clock. Then he devised a balance spring and temp in 1675. This clock is said to be "the first practical mechanical clock in the world."
Besides that, he is also famous for elucidating as being circular the "Saturn's Arm" and "Saturn's Ear" discovered by Galileo Galilei and advocating Huygens' principle.


クリスチャン・ホイヘンス(1629年4月~1695年7月)

オランダの数学者、物理学者、天文学者。振子時計を初めて実際に製作した。また、ヒゲゼンマイ・テンプを考案した。これが、携帯時計の小型化と高精度化に大きく貢献した。


1657年6月16日は精密時計の紀元の日である。クリスチャン・ホイヘンスがオランダ議会に振子時計を取り付けたのである。こうして棒テンプに代わり、振子が調速機として用いられるようになり、精度が向上し、さらには時計に分針が付けられるようになった。その後も、1675年にヒゲゼンマイ・テンプを考案した。この時計が「世界初の実用的な機械時計」と言われている。
またそのほかに、彼はガリレオ・ガリレイの発見した「土星の腕」・「土星の耳」を環状であることを解明し、「ホイヘンスの原理」を提唱したことでも有名である。

Peter Henlein.

Peter Henlein(also spelled Henle or Hele)(1485-August 1542) A locksmith and clockmaker of Nuremberg, Germany. He was one of the first craftsmen to make small ornamental clocks, portable clocks which were often worn as pendants or attached to clothing, regarded as the first watches. Peter Henlein is often considered the inventor of the watch. Many sources also erroneously credit him as the inventor of the mainspring. And no contemporary source from his time credits him with inventing anything. Although he was a notable and talented clockmaker, there are two small clocks manufactured using the mainspring before he makes. He was very nearly the first of those who invented how to put small clocks into little boxes. The portable clock using the mainspring which was completed in 1511 was called "Egg of Nuremberg(German:Nurnbergisch Ei)". ピーター・ヘンライン(1485年~1542年8月) ドイツ・ニュルンベルクの鍵屋、時計師。彼は小さな装飾時計を作る最初の職人の一人で、それはしばしばペンダントや衣服に着用されて最初の時計と見なされる携帯時計だった。 ピーター・ヘンラインは腕時計の発明者と考えられて...
