Ticking Clock Day

Time as a philosophical category expresses the duration of existence and the change of states of material processes and systems Minutes and hours sometimes drag on unbearably long, but more often than not they pass quickly To measure time intervals, people have long used solar, water and sand devices, which were replaced by electronic, quartz and mechanical watches They fall asleep to the ticking of the chimes, and congratulate each other on the New Year to the sound of the chimes Fans of A Pugacheva’s work are well familiar with the song lines: “Even though the night is boundless and my house lonely, The ancient clock is still ticking” Their measured ticking creates an atmosphere of peace and comfort, and a cuckoo looking out of the window makes you think about the frailty of all things and puts you in a philosophical mood The ringing of an alarm clock, the striking of a grandfather clock With their help, time seems to speak to a person in a special language that few understand An unusual holiday encourages you to think about the transience of life September 25th is Ticking Clock Day Mechanical devices for measuring time in a day appeared in the 14th century in the late Middle Ages This became possible thanks to the invention of the spindle stroke and the folio balancer The first mechanical watches did not have hands and announced the onset of a new period of time by striking They were installed in monasteries, where they called believers to prayer, and on the towers of city halls The first devices showed not only time, but also lunar and solar cycles, the position of planets and zodiac signs in the sky The tower clock was decorated with figures of people who came to life thanks to mechanical winding, participating in scenes based on biblical stories In the 15th century devices for measuring time became available for personal use Mechanical watches, which at that time were quite expensive, were acquired by aristocrats and other noble persons for installation in castles and palaces After 100 years, home watch models appear that ordinary people can already buy England and Switzerland are becoming centers for the production of high-quality watches The invention of the mainspring allowed craftsmen to begin making devices of any size This is how watches appeared, which were attached to chains and worn in the pockets of trousers or jackets Almost simultaneously, ladies' models in the form of ticking pendants and rings began to be made In the 20th century All homes, offices, cafes and restaurants had wall, floor or table clocks They measured seconds, minutes and hours, causing nostalgia and sadness in some people, and joy in anticipation of a long-awaited event in others: a meeting with a loved one, a wedding, an anniversary or another holiday The sound of a clock ticking often reminds us of a past that can never be returned: Tickling not only serves as a reminder of irretrievably gone days, but is also a kind of therapy that allows a person to realize and accept his emotions The measured battle and the cuckoo, which appears every 30 minutes or hour, evoke thoughts about the frailty of life Therefore, people are sensitive to the ticking of watches and do not give up mechanical devices despite the emergence of various electronic devices
