We all remember how in the days of the USSR, all the republics with bated breath waited for the chimes in new year's eve... Today these watches beat off time exclusively for Russia, however, this does not deprive them of special magic and attractiveness.
The Kremlin tower (also called the Spasskaya), on which this clock is installed, was built back in 1491. In 1625 it was modernized - it was then that the clock device was installed on the tower. In 1626, the clock was destroyed by fire, so a similar one had to be built. In 1706, the watch was again replaced with a new one. This time they were brought personally by Peter the Great. However, they also suffered from the fire.
The last change of the dial took place in the last century after being hit by a shell in 1917. Few people know, but initially the tower was called Frolovskaya, since its creator (Italian Pietro Antonio Solari) chose the name for his building, based on the nearby church of Frol and Laurus. Only in 1658 it was decided to rename the tower to Spasskaya. This was recorded in the royal decree, and the basis for the renaming was the location of the icon of the Savior Not Made by Hands over the gate.
Today, absolute time accuracy is achieved by connecting the clock to a control clock. For this purpose, a special cable is laid underground.
Chimes are capable of playing a variety of melodies. Until 1932, the "Internationale" was played every day at lunch, today the main motive is the anthem Russian Federation.
Access to the dial itself is allowed to a limited number of people. At the same time, there is no elevator in the tower - you have to climb an old spiral staircase. The length of each of the arrows is 3 meters, and the size of all kinds of gears and wheels exceeds human height. The total weight of the structure exceeds 25 tons.

History of world clocks
The first watches invented by man were sunshine, they were used in ancient egypt 3500 thousand years ago, then the day was divided into 24 hours. In Mesopotamia and on the territory ancient China used a water clock that did not depend on the sun, the ancient Greeks improved it, and in the 3rd century BC a scientist from Alexandria Ctesibius invented the most accurate water clock at that time - the clebsidra, this mechanism was used right up to the 17th century, perhaps it was thanks to the clebsidra that the expression appeared time passes, because the ancient arator was allowed to perform while the water flows from the 1st clebsidra.

The water clock has become history, and the solar clock is still there, they have different shapes and sizes. The first mechanical watches were invented in China (8th century AD), over time, the secret of their construction gets to the Arabs, and from them to Europe in the 13th century. However, this watch had two significant drawbacks, it was bulky and very expensive. Having learned to determine the time, people wanted and measure its intervals, for this purpose an hourglass appears - for the first time the hourglass is described in detail in a document from 1339, found in Paris. It is believed that the prototype of the hourglass is the bottle clock invented in antiquity by Archimedes.
The largest hourglass is called the "Wheel of Time"; its height is 8 meters; it is located in Budapest and is capable of counting the time equal to 365 days. The smallest hourglass was made in Hamburg - it is 2.4 centimeters high and measures 5 seconds. In 1288, the first mechanical clock was constructed on the tower of the Palace of Westminster in England, 100 years later, chimes appeared on this clock.
Hourglass Wheel Of Time In Russia, the first clock is installed in 1404 in the Moscow Kremlin on the tower of the palace of Grand Duke Vasily I, it has been working non-stop for 217 years without a minute hand and a pendulum - instead of it there were stone weights. In 1852, on the Spasskaya tower of the Moscow Kremlin, the most famous watch Russia and today they are unique because they are completely mechanical - they are turned on 2 times a day.

It should be borne in mind that with the default settings, the operating system of your computer itself, without your participation, must synchronize the time of the computer clock with the time of the exact time servers. If this setting is correct, then you always have the time that you want to find on the net before your eyes. Double-clicking on the clock in your computer opens the window for setting the properties of the date and time. Enabling synchronization with the time of the Internet server is located on the "Internet Time" tab - there you should check the box next to the inscription "Synchronize with the time server on the Internet". In the "Server" field, you can select from the list or specify your own version of the source server of the exact time, and by clicking the "Update now" button, you can start an unscheduled synchronization. Synchronization of the computer's internal clock with the Internet time is carried out using a simplified version of the specially developed NTP protocol (Network Time Protocol). Its main feature lies in the fact that the protocol makes it possible to make a correction for the constantly changing signal transit time from the server to the computer. The accuracy of such synchronization can reach one hundredth of a second.
