Synopsis

Horology, the science of timekeeping, allowed early man to harmonize agricultural activity with seasonal fluctuations. Today´s man is equipped with a resolution of timekeeping that is synchronized throughout the entire world to a potential accuracy of approximately 30 billionths of seconds per year. The developments are significant yet largely undocumented and ambiguous due to the nature in which horology has governed such historical accuracy. Horological Machine designs are influenced from everything from science fiction through to 20th-century aviation, but at all times with a firm foundation based on the very best of traditional horology. Every Horological Machine bears its own exceptional history and design.
