We can thank people like Pluto for coming up with a water driven alarm clock and persons like Su Sung or YI Xing Hsing which ever you chose to be the spelling for the escapement. And like that 2.5 million dollar watch in another thread it just goes to prove there are seemingly no end to the accomplishments and complexities to mechanisms
