Coordinated timekeeping across geographies is only like 200 years old #perspective

Went to an estate sale today to buy some furniture and came across this clock. Its an old wind up clock and I thought it would be nice to have on the wall.

well... I got home and found out this thing has 5 initials and dates on it. I assume they are from the previous owners
The earliest one is 1907... This thing is over 100 years old and still ticking 😀

Needless to say I love this thing now. it feels awesome to have something so old and that has been taken care of by so many people



So now its hanging on my wall. a 100 year old method of keeping time sitting right next to the most modern way of keeping time, the block clock 😀
