About

When we glance at our wrists to find out the time, we don't even think about the effort and ingenuity that has made it a possibility. From the earliest beginnings with stone circles and sundials, through water dripping and lowering the level in a marked off bowl, to graduated candles that (hopefully!) burned evenly and finally pendulum-driven trickery. And then came the drive from the shipping navigators to be able to accurately tell the time at sea, pendulums being no good in a pitching ship! The huge prize money put up for the first mechanism to solve this drove the invention of the spring-driven clockwork mechanisms still used even in today's world of quartz crystals and electrickery!

Planetary Glyphs Deep Space Astronomy Pocket Watch


Ad: Planetary Glyphs Deep Space Astronomy Pocket Watch

Know a star-gazer who'd love a pocket watch? If so they'll adore this design featuring a deep space background topped by astronomcial glyphs symbolizing the sun moon planets & one large asteroid in our solar system! The metallic purple glyphs mark time: the Sun is 12 the Earth is 6 and the rest including Ceres the asteroid fill in the difference. The glyphs are original vector art after researching them & the outer space background was accomplished with space themed graphic brushes. A great gift for any star-gazer or science fiction fan! mySpaceWatch
