Why did Levi hutchins invent the alarm clock?

Levi Hutchins did not invent the alarm clock. That honor goes to Levi Hutchins, a clockmaker from Concord, New Hampshire. He invented a mechanical alarm clock in 1787.

However, the alarm clock Hutchins invented was not the first ever. There were earlier alarm clocks made using candles and other methods. Hutchins's invention was significant because it was the first mechanical alarm clock that could be set to a specific time.

The reason for his invention is unknown, but it's likely he sought to create a more reliable and accurate way to wake up for work or other important activities.
