There are a range of duration timers, a well-known example being the hourglass. This difference is known as “The Equation of Time.” However, the Sundial time is sometimes 16 minutes faster and sometimes 14 minutes slower than timepieces. Four times yearly Sundials and timepieces agree. Sundials tell apparent sun time by displaying the position of the sun by shadow on a flat surface, while timepieces tell Mean Solar Time. Devices operating on several physical processes have been used over the millennia.

The timepiece is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to consistently measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units: the day, the lunar month, and the year. Watches are timepieces that are carried on one’s person and are typically understood to be different from immobile timepieces placed in rooms. The origin of the term is derived ultimately from the Celtic words clagan and clocca meaning “bell” and is evidence in the French word “cloche,” the Latin word “glocio,” the Saxon word clugga and the German word “glocke.” A silent instrument missing such a striking mechanism like a bell has traditionally been known as a timepiece, but today the term timepiece has become a broader term for devices keeping time.
