The History Behind Countdown Timers
Humans have measured time since antiquity, from sundials to water clocks. The first mechanical countdown timers, as we know them today, appeared in the 19th century, often linked to industrial processes or scientific experiments. The digital revolution brought a new era of precision and accessibility. Today's digital timer clock, like the one you find here, uses advanced web technologies such as JavaScript and CSS to offer accuracy down to the second (or even centiseconds in our stopwatch) on any device.
