Piaget Polo Watch

Time has been called many things be people throughout the ages. It has been called an illusion that was created by man in an attempt to create some order in the universe. It has been called the great equalizer as it brings all people to the same end. Whatever the case may be, time is also one of the things that rule many people’s lives today. People are forever running about from here to there trying to stick to appointments and to be on time. Businesses succeed or fail just because of the ticking of the clocks all over the world. Whether they check it on their Piaget Polo watch or on a large clock tower on a church, people are always looking to see what time it is.

It was not always like this, of course. Long ago the only way people had to tell time was by the position of the sun in the sky. Farmers in the Dark Ages had no Piaget Polo watch to tell them what time it was and ancient Egyptians were reliant on simpler, less precise means to find out how long things took. For millennia people have been trying to capture time and even though they have come quite close it is still pretty elusive.

The earliest timepieces, if you can call them that, were the sundial and the water clock. Many people have seen a sundial and some have heard of the water clock. The sundial is closest thing the ancients had to a Piaget Polo watch at their time and it was still a best guess instrument at the best of times. By reading the shadow cast by an upright piece on a disc, the ancient peoples could get a rough idea of what time of day it was. Obviously this did not work at night, though there are some examples of so-called ‘moondials’ though whether these timepieces actually worked is up to debate.

If anything, the water clock is as far removed from a Piaget Polo watch as can be and makes the sundial look like a close cousin. Not used to actually tell time, the water clock was used to record the passing of time. The device was filled with water and the water was then allowed to drip from the device at a precise rate. By checking the water level of the device a person could get a rough idea of how much time has passed. In the Middle Ages candles were used along very much the same lines though both instruments were estimates at best.

Humanity has come a long way in capturing time. From water clocks and sundials to Piaget Polo watches – time has been cleft into tighter and tighter segments through the efforts of man. Even though time on Earth has been conquered one has to wonder what will happen the day we colonize another world with days that are a different length. The battle against time, it seems, really is never ending.
