"The 18th-century horologist John Harrison claimed that he could make the
world's most accurate pendulum clock, but his methods were scorned for hundreds
of years—until someone proved him right."
Great article! I also recommend the book and TV series "Longitude".
If you enjoyed Terry Pratchett's "Moist von Lipwig" series of explanatory
fiction, here's a My Little Pony fanfiction in the same style on the subject of
horology: Time on Their Hooves
