About Chronophage
The Chronophage Clock was invented and designed by Dr John Taylor for Corpus Christi College Cambridge for the exterior of the college's new library building.
It was unveiled on 19 September 2008 by Prof Stephen Hawking, cosmologist and author of the global bestseller, A Brief History of Time.
The Corpus Chronophage was commissioned and designed to honour John Harrison, who was famously the pioneer of Longitude and inventor of the esoteric clock mechanism known as a grasshopper escapement.
The clock has been designed by the inventor and horologist Dr John Taylor and makes ingenious use of the grasshopper escapement, moving it from the inside of the clock to the outside and refashioning it as a Chronophage, or time-eater, which literally devours time.
The second in the series, the Midsummer Chronophage, was unveiled at the Masterpiece Fair in June 2010, and is being exhibited at the Science Museum until October 2011.
