Discover the fascinating evolution of timekeeping, from early sundials to intricate mechanical clocks, as told by Frederick James Britten in “Old Clocks and Watches and Their Makers”
Mostly for the curious. It dawned on me after this one, that as much as I like these historical posts, they can sometimes miss the mark on what people would like to spend time reading.
Perhaps lacked some sort of link to the present or “why should anyone care” - but I guess i learned something, so that’s cool. 😂
A wealth of info👏

Very interesting 🤓 looking forward to other parts.
Also interesting one is the astronomical clock in Prague :D one of the oldest I believe
For sure! In case others see this: https://prague.eu/en/objevujte/old-town-hall-with-astronomical-clock-staromestska-radnice-s-orlojem/
Very cool, thank you for sharing. Another interesting one I recently visited in Bern from I think the 15th century. Lots of cool movement.

I think you’ll find there’s not much to comment on, other than maybe you’re keen to see some of this in person 😄
