The Wrist WatchIn 1504, the first wrist watch was made. It was made by Peter Helein. A watch is a small, portable timepiece that is made to be worn on a person. It is usually a wristwatch, attached to the wrist with a strap or bracelet. Clocks tell us what time it is.

The Quartz ClockIn 1927, Warren Marrison made the Quartz. He developed a very large highly accurate clock.

Pocket WatchA pocket watch is a watch that is made to be carried in a pocket, as opposed to a wristwatch which is strapped to the wrist. Peter Henlein invented the Pocket watch in 1900BC.

The Lantern Clock They became too old and are not used in the 19th century. It was made by Langley Bradley. Lantern clock by Langley Bradley, London, c. 1700. Converted to clockwork mechanism, hence missing its weight.
