Why does the whole world measure its time and define its position in relation to the Greenwich Meridian, a line passing through a spot on the banks of the Thames in south-east London? The story begins with the invention in London of a sea-going clock that allowed sailors to find their longitude. The object pictured here is one of those clocks — a marine chronometer made around 1800 — which could keep perfect time even in rolling seas.
–A History of the World in 100 Objects,
Neil MacGregor
