Seth Thomas from the United States patented the mechanical wind-up alarm clock in 1876.

美國人 Seth Thomas 在 1876 年獲得了機械發條鬧鐘的專利

This clock didn't only keep time, it also allowed a person to set a ' wake-up time '

and would ring a bell at the time the sleeper had set for awakening.

他 (Seth Thomas) 的鬧鐘不只可以記錄時間, 同時還可以設定"叫醒時間", 預先設定的叫醒時間到了還會發出鈴聲.

Battery-powered clocks were first used in the 1840s, with electric and quartz-powered

clocks coming into use in the early 1900s.

電池當動力的鬧鐘首先在1840年代問世, 而利用電力和石英的鬧鐘則是在1900年代初期開始被使用.

With the invention of battery and electric-powered clocks, there was no longer the need to wind a mainspring.

隨著電池、電力和石英為動力的鬧鐘的發明, 已經不再需要替鬧鐘上緊發條了.

As a result, time-keeping became much more accurate.

結果, 時間的紀錄變的更加準確了.
