This would be no simple timepiece. Because Chinese dynasties continued to astrology, they relied on complicated clocks that not only kept time but also helped track stars, planets, the sun, and the moon.

Building on centuries of Chinese clock-making knowledge, Su Song created a spectacular timepiece housed within an ornate forty-foot-tall tower.

At the tower’s top sat an armillary sphere, or a nest of metal rings representing celestial reference points such as the horizon and the sun’s path—that rotated in sync with the earth, enabling precise astronomical observations. Inside the tower, a sphere depicting the sky revolved to display the stars that were overhead. Besides, below the star sphere, the tower’s open sides exposed a detailed model of a five-story pagoda.

The clock’s inner workings were equally remarkable. Hidden in the tower, a waterwheel eleven feet in diameter powered the entire clock. Therefore, water would pour at a constant rate into one of the wheel’s thirty-six buckets.

Chinese clockmakers had long used waterwheels, but Su Song’s stop mechanism, which regulated the inertia of the waterwheel, represented significant innovation.
