Uhren gehören zur Seefahrt wie das Salz in den Ozean. Erst die genaue Zeitmessung ermöglichte eine präzise Navigation. Bis heute hält die Liaison zwischen Seefahrern und Uhrmachern an.

While it's well deserved that #MichaelGambon won a #BAFTA Best Actor award for his portrayal of #JohnHarrison in #Longitude, it's a crying shame that #JeremyIrons didn't win an award as well for his portrayal of #RupertGould in that same film.
Jeremy Irons' acting here is fucking making me cry and emotional with his portrayal of having yet another nervous breakdown at the start of World War 2.
Fucking hell this is an amazing film. -

Have you ever heard of the #HarrisonClock? What about a #Maritime #Chronometer?
In the 1700s #JohnHarrison, a carpenter -- not a horologist -- invented a clock that could keep time while at sea.
Such a thing seems trivial today but up until Harrison's clock such a feat had never been achieved before.
And why is it important to tell time while you're at sea?
So you can calculate your #Longitude.
What an amazing #story, and what an amazing #movie.

Mit 0 Beschleunigung heute unterwegs auf dem Null-Meridian.
Lt Reiseführer war es 1714 der Uhrmacher #johnharrison, der als wissenschaftlicher Laie das Konzept des Null-Meridian entwickelte - und noch so schön klingende Dinge wie die Grashopper-Hemmung erfand. Damals gingen Impulse für den technologischen Fortschritt vom Handwerk aus - noch nicht von privaten oder universitären Forschungseinrichtungen. -
