2. Watch industry of India History of watches For thousands of years, devices have been used to measure and keep track of time. The current sexagesimal system of time measurement dates to approximately 2000 BC, in sumer. The ancient egyptians divided the day into two 12-hour periods, and used large obelisks to track the movement of the Sun. They also developed waterclocks, which were probably first used in the precinct of amun-re, and later outside Egypt as well; they were employed frequently by the Ancient Greeks, who called them clepsydrae

3. The earliest clocks relied on shadows cast by the sun, and hence were not useful in cloudy weather or at night and required recalibration as the seasons changed. The earliest known clock with a water-powered escapement mechanism, which transferred rotational energy into intermittent motions dates back to 3rd century bc
