A Discussion around how time changed the world. Sharing the history of John Harrison and how he solved "The Longitude Problem" with an accurate chronometer. He would later be known as the inventor of the Marine Chronometer which sailors could trust to guide them anywhere. The question then is to look at what innovations have come from such a simple device. The modern GPS is one of the most important. In watchmaking we have seen how the GMT and World Time Complications have been built on the foundations of understanding different timezones.
