it works like an hour glass except that instead of sand, he used water and the cells on the bottle to determined the passage of time.
One of the first timer was created by a roman prostitute in a similar way. She would time her session with her clients using a large bowl and smaller bowl . A small hold was drilled at the bottom of the smaller bowl. The large bowl was filled with water and the smaller bowl then placed in the water. Once the smaller bowl was filled with water, it would sink to the bottom making a sound alerting that the time with the current client was up.

that`s..interesting
Can someone please explain to me about the thing with the water bottle?
