The book features a lot of the scientific aspects of what occurred‚ which perhaps might have deterred some more casual or less-informed readers‚ and there is also a lot of explanation in detail about Harrison’s clocks.

Inventions of the Renaissance Clocks The first mechanical clock was invented in the early 1300’s. With this invention time began to be measured in hours (24 hours equaling a day).

The average error with the pendulum varied only by seconds each day. Before this the error was from 10 to 15 minutes a day. During the 1600’s the metallic gear‚ or toothed
