Water clocks, along with the sundials, are possibly the oldest time-measuring instruments. There is a range of duration timers, a well-known example being the hourglass. A sundial shows the time by displaying the position of a shadow on a flat surface. Devices operating on several physical processes have been used over the millennia. The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to consistently measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units: the day, the lunar month, and the year.

Watches and other timepieces that can be carried on one's person are often distinguished from clocks. In general usage today a " clock" refers to any device for measuring and displaying the time. A silent instrument missing such a striking mechanism has traditionally been known as a timepiece. The word clock is derived (via Dutch, Northern French, and Medieval Latin) from the Celtic words clagan and clocca meaning "bell".
