A sundial is the type of timepiece that has the fewest moving parts. What type of timepiece has the most moving parts?
Common Wrong Answers
“Mechanical watch”
A mechanical watch has many moving gears and components, but it is not the type of timepiece with the most moving parts compared to an hourglass.
“Digital clock”
A digital clock primarily uses electronic components and does not have moving parts in the traditional sense, making it an incorrect answer.
“Pendulum clock”
While a pendulum clock has several moving parts due to its pendulum and gears, it still does not surpass the simplicity of an hourglass in terms of counting time.
