One of the earliest devices to measure time―pendulum clocks―are prevalent even today although their working differs from the old ones. The early pendulum clocks were subject to inaccuracy, which were later modified to give more accurate time. Today, pendulum clocks are retained more for their antique and aesthetic value.
