Water clock.

After the sundial clock, a water clock was invented that can know the time when it is night or cloudy. The simplest making clockwork was like a flowerpot. The flowerpot has small holes at the bottom, and the water inside flows regularly. We can measure the time by the transition of the water surface caused by the outflow of water inside. It seems that this existed around 2000 BC. Then there is also a water clock with a device that sounds automatically.


日時計のあとに、夜や曇天のときに時刻を知ることができる水時計が考案された。もっとも簡単な作りのものは植木鉢のようなものだった。底に小さな穴があり、中の水が規則正しく流れ出る。そのときの水面の推移で時刻を計測する。これは紀元前2000年ぐらいには存在していたらしい。その後には音が自動で鳴る装置の付いた水時計も作られている。

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...
