Think StrangeClock is the Strangest Clock?

Whoa, it's even more awesome in motion!

I want it

That thing will definitely be easier to draw than a wrench!

Hahaha

You should see some of John Harrison's original chronometers.

Holy crap.

[DiscoBallClock]

Holy crap.

Yeah, it's the H2, I think. Harrison made it to serve as a time measurer in the sea in order to gain a bigass reward. He would only win it 30 years later with his H4. Not so sure about the 30 years part, though.

That's the H1. The H2 looks like this:



Here's a picture of all of Harrison's chronometers:



The H4 was the one that "won" the Longitude Prize (and its development did take 30 years, DiscoBall), even though the review board held onto it, and never actually awarded the prize, the wankers. They dismissed its accuracy as "luck" (despite two successful tests). Harrison went on to make the H5, which impressed King George III with its accuracy of up to one-third of a second, so Parliment gave him £8000 to shut him up.
