EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Electric master clock dating back to the mid-19th century, between 1852 and 1893. This remarkable timepiece served as the heartbeat of timekeeping in England, with its precise readings being telegraphed to major cities across the kingdom. What sets this clock apart is its groundbreaking role in transmitting Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) live to the public, setting a standard for timekeeping that would be adopted worldwide.
Crafted by Shepherd circa 1852, this clock not only controlled the dial at the entrance of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich but also played a crucial role in coordinating time signals sent through submarine transatlantic cables all the way to Harvard University in Massachusetts, USA. Its intricate mechanisms and advanced technology made it a marvel of horology during its era.
As you gaze upon this historic artifact captured in exquisite detail, you can't help but marvel at its significance in shaping modern timekeeping practices. The legacy of this Electric master clock lives on as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation that continues to inspire generations of clockmakers and horologists around the world.
