Actually, metronome was found around the time Beethoven was writing his 8th symphony. During this time, he realized the importance of playing his music correctly after his death, so he used to turn back to his compositions and write so many exact requirements of how to play the music as he could do, including metronomic tempos of notes. He simply wanted to let the next generations to know, in which tempo has to be each composition played and he is one of the first composers, who started writing this metronomic stuff into the notes.
