The candle clock

You don’t get a very precise time but…it’s a very interesting solution for that time.

A candle clock is a thin candle with consistently spaced marking (see the picture below), that when burned. It shows the periods of time.

Candle clocks were used when mechanical clocks had not been invented.

Who invented the first candle clock?… King Alfred the Great.

Candle clocks provided an effective way to tell time indoors, at night, or on a cloudy day.

This is one candle clock on display at the Clock Museum in Zacatlán, Puebla, Mexico.
