is seldom heard at Britain’s Clockmaker’s Museum, now on the second floor of London’s Science Museum. The collection of time pieces old and new, instead, tells a tale little known: how and why something as mundane as tracking the passage of time mattered in history and science. Also, there are many beautiful objects.
It's interesting to see the importance of time keepings and it's relevance to Maritime navigation, and how this was needed by Britain in growing and maintaining it's empire.
That exhibits cover wide range of watches and clocks of various period, showing well decorated cases, different movements and their working style.
