The first mechanical clocks were made in China.
The origin of the mechanical clock is not precisely known. It was found that inhibition of the process was always in regulation of the movement which sees the creation of a mechanical clock, built in a city in Europe in the late Middle Ages. However, this was actually invented independently by a Chinese engineer in 1088AD.
Water clocks were mechanical watches delivered to China since about 700 AD, but these werevery inaccurate. Su Song was a Chinese engineer was that a huge clock tower, which would not only time to say but to give an accurate representation of the objects in the night sky to build.
In China at that time the philosophy was decided by a majority of the people that the heavens and the earth moves in harmony with the earth, the sky is the passive and active. All things are in a circular, symbiotic relationship is possible. The Emperor of China was the one who wasshould be able to step between the two sides and to communicate the balance of the world. He did this with an advanced system of prospective analysis, which allows him to know what was going on is going to happen in the future. With astronomical terms, to the idea that the emperor could say the future was a great reinforcing his power was a major part. This meant that the ability to say exactly the time was very important to the political system of the empire. Su Song made the Clockit possible to predictions that were much more accurate.
His clock was part of three giants, shows the upper part moving astrological body, the middle shows the heavenly and the bottom shows the time. The clock ran entirely on water power, not that any effort of people.
Unfortunately, the tower was destroyed in less than 40 years after it was built, in pieces abducted during an invasion. Experiments, the son of Su Song new on the towerwithout success.
Currently, there are efforts to have a replica of the clock at the National Museum of Natural Science in China to build. These efforts have the difficulties that were revealed to have been the original clock. The nature of the required precision would have extraordinaire efforts with the means taken place on that day.
