The
chronometer was invented by Englishman John Harrison while
proving to the British Admiralty it is possible to navigate
using an accurate timepiece set to Greenwich Meantime ( 0
meridian) and regular mid-day sightings taken with a
Sextant. The
Swiss made timekeeping an art form. Below is just one fine
example of such design, crafted from solid 18 carat gold and
encrusted with no less than 62 diamonds in total.
