Watches, but also by the Chinese people in the Northern Song Dynasty 900 years ago, the invention. Recently, I met in Shanghai, the world famous master clocks, watches historian Kiu Tai Yu of Hong Kong, he excitedly told reporters, after several years of efforts and confirmation, he proposed the "Chinese people created a watch history" of the point of view, has been recognized by the world watch industry. Kiu Tai Yu said the Chinese ancient sundial, water clock, fire bell, Tonghudilou, etc., which can only be regarded as the ancients timer. No watch tick tick sound, all clocks can not be called. To 1090, the Northern Song Dynasty prime minister chaired Su Song built a clock tower, once per day only one second error. Moreover, it has escapement, it can ticking ticking sound when it is escapement work. This is the difference between clocks and timers. International watch industry regarded deemed watch escapement heart. In Switzerland, he found an authoritative books on the world watch industry wrote:. "Escapement used in modern mechanical clocks originated in ancient China Su Song of the invention," after he was in the famous British historian Joseph Needham's Science and Technology a book, found his words:?

Second, the transition from small clocks to pocket watches. Third, from pocket watches to watch develop. Each stage of development and technology at the time the invention are inseparable.
