The date 19 August originates from the biography ''The Life of James Watt'' (1858, p. 521) by [[James Patrick Muirhead]]. It draws its (supposed) legitimacy from the fact that Muirhead was a nephew of Watt and therefore should have been well-informed. In the Muirhead papers, 25 August date is mentioned elsewhere. The latter date is also given in contemporary newspaper reports (for example, page 3 of ''[[The Times]]'' of 28 August) as well as by an abstract of and codicil to Watt's last will. (In the pertinent burial register of St. Mary's Church (Birmingham-Handsworth) Watt's date of death is not mentioned.)</ref>

'''James Watt''' ({{lahirmati|[[Greenock]], [[Skotlandia]]|19|1|1736|[[Birmingham]], [[Inggris]]|19|8|1819}}) ialah seorang insinyur besar dari Skotlandia, [[Britania Raya]]. Pada awalnya ia tertarik dengan mesin uap karena memperhatikan mesin uap buatan Newcome yang kurang efisien. Lalu ia terus melakukan beberapa percobaan & penelitian. Ia berhasil menciptakan [[mesin uap]] pertama yang efisien. Ternyata mesin uap ini merupakan salah satu kekuatan yang mendorong terjadinya [[Revolusi Industri]], khususnya di Britania dan [[Eropa]] pada umumnya. Untuk menghargai jasanya, nama belakangnya yaitu [[watt]] digunakan sebagai nama satuan daya, misalnya daya mesin dan daya listrik.
