Do you have time to discuss clocks?

Before the Timex Indiglo, there was the 17th century “night clock.”

An oil lamp behind the clock face would illuminate the time for reading the clock in the dark. Not many have survived because of the unfriendly feelings between open flames and wooden casing.

Clockwork mechanisms, lightbulb filaments, and internal combustion... these are a few of my favorite things.
