Early History of Keyring Clocks
A new era of the history of the keyring clocks and pocket watches begins in the year 1675, when Christian Huygens publicly showed his invention of the spiral spring and balance at the Paris Academy of Sciences in France. You can look up his contribution to the design of pocket watches and keyring clocks, online.
He had the traditional set-up with the addition of a spiral spring so connected that they worked in harmony. This could improve the fundamental shortcomings of the previously inaccurate keyring clocks which the new spring largely avoided. A French historian writes about the two technical innovations by the Huygens and comments on the reliability of large and small clocks and how it had increased which was so crucial to connect with the pendulum clock and the balance, you can see his comments on the spring, pocket watches and keyring clocks, online.
This invention of the spiral spring plays a big part in the history of the clock; the first section was the time of preparation, tentative attempts, the second timing, the development of the clock and the balance. The second section lasted two and a half centuries and was only begun with his efforts to perfect the pocket watch and keyring clocks. When the arrival of electronics renewed and rejuvenated the watch making industry, the new techniques increased the timing accuracy as well as all other aspects of pocket watches and keyring clocks.
Clocks, pocket watches, and keyring clocks are now no longer as they were in the 16th and in the early 17th a curiosity, which could only be purchased by the extremely rich. In the last quarter of the 20th century, they have become real-time meters, which are generally used by ordinary people not just our rich. Unlike two centuries earlier they are no longer the sole possession of princes and the nobility, but also of the regular working people, you can even purchase keyring clocks, online, at your favourite online auction or shop.
