When was the clock developed or created?

The development of clocks dates back to ancient civilizations, with early timekeeping devices like sundials used by the Egyptians around 1500 BCE. Mechanical clocks began to emerge in Europe during the late 13th century, with significant advancements made in the 14th century. The invention of the pendulum clock by Christiaan Huygens in 1656 greatly improved accuracy. Over time, various technologies have evolved, leading to the precise timekeeping devices we use today.
