Eletric Clock

It can seem, at the first sight, that electric clock are product of a recent work, once the eletricity had its great expansion in this century. The science of the time measurement, always present during all the human evolution, is, perhaps, one of that earlier linked to the eletricity. The eletricity was applied to the watch-maker’s shop with positive results in 1830, by the physicist Zamboni, from Verona. He communicated his invention in 1832, in that time, a pendulum, in experience begun to work fed by eletricity, became ever since, one more motor element which the watch-maker’s shop would pass to count to.
