Before the the clock was invented, people were measuring time with different early measuring device like sundials and water clocks.
The mechanical clocks appear around the end of the 13th century. At that time, there was a very limited number of water and mechanical clocks. They were only frequent in monastery and cathedrals. At the beginning these clocks were only there to ring 24 times the bell (for the 24 hours). Later the technical advances have allowed to display the 24 ho...
The Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) was established in 1675 when the Royal Observatory was built. It was an aid to mariners to determine longitude at sea, providing a standard reference time while each city in England kept a different local time. To calculate the longitude from the Greenwich meridian, British mariners kept at least one chronometer on GMT...
With the development of transport and telecommunications, local solar time starts to become increasingly inconvenient, because clocks differed between places in function of the geographical longitude. The variation of time with the geographical longitudes is about 4 minutes by degree of longitude in the United Kingdom. For example, when it is solar...
Quirico Filopanti, an Italian mathematician, proposed the first worldwide time zones in1858. That year, he published the idea in his book Miranda. In it, he proposed 24 time zone of 1 hour that he describe has longitudinal days. The first of his longitudinal day was centred on the meridian of Rome. He also proposed a universal time for Astronomy an...
The first country to adopt a standard time throughout all the colony was New Zealand in 1868. This standard was known as New Zealand Mean Time and was 11 hours 30 minutes ahead of GMT.
Timekeeping on the US railroad in the middle of the 19thcentury was very confused. Each railroad was using its own standard time. This standard time was based on the local time of its headquarters or an important terminus. Companies use their own standard time to publish their railroad’s train schedules. Junctions with several railroads had a clock...
In 1876, the Canadian Sandford Fleming proposed to generalize the concept of the American railroads time zone worldwide. First, he proposed a concept of a global 24 hour clock linked to any surface meridian. In 1879, he specifies that the universal day begins at the anti-meridian of Greenwich (180thmeridian). He continued the promotion of his syste...
