Because of the need to coordinate schedules with other people and get to places on time for appointments and events, Clocks are one of the oldest human inventions. It is important that everyone's clocks showed the same time to avoid confusion.

The first mechanical alarm clock was made using a peg placed on the dial wheel, which activated the alarm. An Ottoman engineer named Taqi al-Din invented this clock and set the stage for other alarm clocks to be invented leading to what we have today.

One of the first clocks ever used was the sundial. It worked by the sun casting a shadow on a carved stone made for the purpose. The sundial was so reliable that later clocks were held to the sundial standard to make sure that they were accurate.

Dear Antique Clock Fans,

I am writing to you in behalf of your Heavenly Father. He is seeking you like a lost sheep. You remember the Bible story? It is about a shepherd who has 100 sheep. But when he brings the sheep home one night, one is missing. He then leaves the 99 sheep and goes out into the wilderness until he finds that lost sheep.

In this parable the shepherd goes out to search for the one lost sheep-the very least that can be numbered. So if there had been but one lost soul, Christ would have died for that one. To read more click Lost Sheep
