Galileo Galilei
Galileo was born in Pisa, Italy. One day he heard about the Dutch creating a spyglass (later known as telescope) to use militarily to see distant actions of other armies. It had not been patented yet, so Galileo went to work. He ended up inventing the first 10 power telescope and presented it to the Senate. He later used them for astronomy instead of for the military.
Peter Henlein

The Pocket Watch
Peter Henlein was a clock maker from Nuremberg, Germany. In 1510 he made his first pocket watch and soon many nobles from near and far were asking for one even though they were very expensive due to lack of supply. His idea turned into an invention that revolutionized clocks today.
