We humans take the measurement of time for granted. Our mobile phones, our computers and our televisions all display the time without error, but this is a new revolution in human technology. For the last few thousand years, we have relied upon complicated machinery and even the position of the sun to share with us a rough estimate of the current time. Yet a collection of watch makers in Europe have spent centuries building complex, intricate machines that tell time with micro-second accuracy. They still do today, putting a world of engineering mastery into tiny devices that measure the pulse of our changing world, one second at a time. These 10 watches represent the forefront of horological mastery, watches that will one day inspire a new generation to craft time with their bare hands and unparalleled percision. This is the future of watch-making, where tomorrow is celebrated in the present day.
