1400AD Mechanical clocks were built in Europe ,using a mainspring and balance wheel.
1583 AD Galileo Galilee realized that the frequency of a pendulum’s swing depended on its length.
1657 AD Christian Huygens invented the first pendulum clock, capable of far greater accuracy than any preceding timekeeper. But the clock did not work at sea.
1759 AD John Harrison built a clock that last only 5 seconds on a voyage from England to Jamaica.
1839 AD Telegraph
invented, allowing instant transmission of time signals.
1840 AD time ball was dropped at noon each day at the US naval Observatory. Ships in the harbour used the ball to set their clocks.
1850 AD Regional time zone established in New England to coordinate railroad schedules, halting confusion due to using local Sun time at every station.

1905 AD A radio signal was transmitted from Washington DC to help ships find longitude.
1928 AD W.A. Marrison of Bell laboratories built the first Quartz clock,accurate to within 1-2 thousandths of a second per day. Quartz technology was later adopted for use in wristwatches.
1945 AD Physicist Isador Rabi suggested making a clock based on the study of atoms , using a method called atomic beam magnetic resonance.
1949 AD National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST) built the first atomic clock, using ammonia.
