Henri de Vic.

The oldest existing mechanical clock was made in 1370 by German mechanicist Henri de Vic. It was attached to the roof of the court in Paris. The turret clock lacks accuracy as well, a huge weight descended in a few hours. Therefore it is said that he lived together to lift the watch and devoted his whole life.


現存する最古の機械時計は1370年にドイツの機械師アンリ・ド・ビックにより作られた。パリの裁判所の屋上に取り付けられたものである。その塔時計も例にもれず、精度はかなり低く、巨大なおもりは数時間で降下してしまった。そのため彼はその時計を巻き上げるために、ともに暮らし、一生を捧げたと言われている。

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...
