JG Gischard was a German founder of a company established in Hamburg in 1874 that manufactured barometers, thermometers, and hygrometers. The history of these instruments predates the company, with barometers evolving from scientific tools to domestic objects and hygrometers using principles like evaporation to measure humidity, as seen in the invention of the wet-bulb hygrometer by William Cullen in 1755.

History of instruments Barometer: The barometer, which measures atmospheric pressure, has a long history of development. Early examples were purely scientific, but they evolved to become portable for field use and visually appealing for domestic settings.

Thermometer: The thermometer's development was closely linked to other meteorological instruments, with some early barometers incorporating a thermometer for comprehensive weather observation.

Hygrometer: The history of the hygrometer includes early designs that observed the effects of humidity on materials. The wet and dry bulb hygrometer, developed by William Cullen and Joseph Black in 1755, used the principle of evaporation to measure humidity.
