Summary "Die Uhren: Ein Abriß der Geschichte der Zeitmessung" by Fintan Kindler is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work examines the development of time measurement throughout history, focusing on the evolution of various timekeeping devices, from ancient sundials to modern innovations. Kindler emphasizes the significance of watches in daily life and their growing complexity as societal needs change. The opening of the text introduces the author's intent to provide a concise overview of the history of clocks without claiming to offer a comprehensive narrative. It reflects on how timekeeping has always fascinated educated individuals, highlighting the challenges of understanding this field due to the existence of more extensive and complex scholarly works. The author sets the stage for discussing the earliest timekeeping methods, such as sundials and water clocks, while also recognizing the historical and cultural implications of time measurement on human life.
