tijdsmechanisme
A tijdsmechanisme, often translated as "time mechanism" or "timekeeping mechanism," refers to any device or system designed to measure, record, or regulate the passage of time. Historically, these mechanisms have evolved significantly, from simple sundials and water clocks to increasingly sophisticated mechanical clocks and eventually atomic clocks.
Early timekeeping devices relied on natural phenomena. Sundials used the sun's shadow, while water clocks measured
With the advent of electricity and later, atomic physics, timekeeping mechanisms became even more precise. Electric
