Sundials are among humanity’s earliest methods for tracking time, using the shadow cast by a gnomon (a raised pointer) to mark the hour on a dial. These ancient tools inspired mechanical clockmakers who replicated the concept of dividing daylight into uniform segments. Though sundials vary by latitude and cannot function under cloud cover, their legacy persists in architectural details, garden decorations, and symbolic references to the passage of time. Understanding the link between sundials and modern clocks offers a glimpse of how historical innovations still shape contemporary timekeeping.
