The History of Time Clock

The first time clock was invented in 1888 by Willard Le Grand Bundy, a New York jeweler. A year later, his brother, Harlow Bundy, formed Bundy Manufacturing Company which started mass producing time clocks. At that time they were mechanical machines.

By the late 20th century, time clocks switched over to electronic or computer-based time clocks. Some common types included: magnetic strips, RFIDs, and barcodes. Many systems even allow employees to request vacation or view their hours worked through the system. Smartclocks include technology similar to smartphones, with biometric components available to prevent “buddy clocking”.
