A timepiece is a device used to measure and keep track of time. Common examples include watches, clocks, and stopwatches. Timepieces can be mechanical, using gears and springs, or electronic, relying on batteries and circuits. They come in various styles and sizes, from small wristwatches to large wall clocks. Timepieces serve both practical and decorative purposes. They help people manage their daily schedules and can also be works of art. Some timepieces, like antique grandfather clocks, are valued for their craftsmanship and history, while modern designs often incorporate technology, such as smartwatches that offer additional features like fitness tracking.
