The Dawn of Timekeeping

In the heart of Nuremberg, a revolutionary invention emerged from the hands of Peter Henlein, a skilled craftsman, in 1505. He created the world’s first watch, the portable Pomander watch. Unlike the grand clocks of the era, his creation was small and designed to be carried around.

The invention marked the beginning of personal timekeeping. This concept would evolve and shape how we interact with time today. Peter’s innovation wasn’t just a technical achievement but a cultural leap forward, allowing individuals like Steven and Mary to measure and manage their time independently. Not only that, their finding in the dirt could lead to a fortune, but at what cost?
