our object is one of those lower-cost chronometers, made
in 1800 by thomas earnshaw. it is made of brass and is
around the size of a large pocket watch, with a normal
clock dial showing roman numerals and a smaller dial at
the bottom for the second hand. the clock is suspended
inside a swivelling brass ring fitted to the inside of a
wooden box - this is the key to keeping the chronometer
level even in an unsteady ship.
