  • All that incredible high-precision movement... and a $1.50 McDonald's toy quartz digital is 1000x more accurate XD

    But mechanical clocks are true and practical works of art!

  • @kulaprabha thanks to you!!! Harrison was a genius and they were so mean with him...

  • Finally managed to see this yesterday, always loved the movement, beautiful!

  • It's great that these movements still exist  for the world to see.

  • This is not the "Clock"! This is just the movement - the original cases for all of Harrison's sea clocks were trashed in the19th century so this would be a good project for someone...........

  • Simple Harmonic Motion

  • Magnificent mechanism.

    Thanks for posting this kulaprabha.

    I could watch this for a full ten minutes though.
