3:03 The craftsmanship of that medal just blows my mind! Each letter has been carved into a once blank medal by hand. A single mistake could have ruined days of work. Things like this medal are just amazing monuments to human ingenuity and determination in pursuit of knowlege, art, and a broader horizon in general.

Clocks and watches are among the most amazing of purely mechanical human inventions. I've always had a fascination with the incredible intricacies and and amazing accuracy of watches. They are also beautiful objects to look at and open up, marvel at the skill needed to make all those precise little cogs and wheels and watch how it all works in unison so perfectly. I would LOVE to be able to take some classes and learn how to make such beautiful objects. But I assume it would take many years of painstaking training and a heck of a lot of money.

As a self proclaimed horological nerd, that anniversary clock is just drop dead gorgeous...

@otakuribo 6 лет назад

Those chimes in the beginning are absolutely magical

@leobarlach 7 лет назад

All love all of Brady's channels, but the nerdiness level of Objectivity is so good.

@vipermagi5499 7 лет назад

I LOVE mechanical clocks. That glass one in the center of the main hall was spectacular and I am jealous of the students that get to study there.

@Remmes 7 лет назад

Would love to see and hear more about the clocks.

@ObjectivityVideos 7 лет назад

+Remco Smit your wish is our command

@adricortesia 7 лет назад

Awesome! This Institute is great, we need more videos :)

@AxcelleratorT 7 лет назад

Yes! More videos on clocks please!

@GabdeVue 7 лет назад

Yes! Thank you so much. These objects are beautiful and i would love to see more of them : )

@clemofish 7 лет назад

I just wanted to see more of that anniversary clock, the camera cut away from it so damn quick

Destin should walk through those halls with that binaural audio for The sound traveler channel :)

@ObjectivityVideos 7 лет назад

+Salensus that's a great idea. I might offer to do one for him as I owe him one. It'd really suit his Sound Traveller project!!!

Henry Joseph Drake was born 29th March 1858. The Lowestoft Journal reports that on the 9th August 1881 he married Clara Herring at Great Yarmouth. In 1901 (age 43) he was living and working at 72 Calverley Road Tunbridge Wells, Kent as an Optician, Jeweller and Watchmaker, with his wife Clara (39) and daughter Greta (4). By 1939 he has retired and lives at 54 Mereworth Road, Tunbridge Wells. Local newspapers reported both the couples Golden and Diamond wedding Anniversaries. He died on the 15th December 1945, and his wife in the following March.

Thanks Braidy and institute. The work is impressive. The three pendulum clock did it for me.

@JohnViolidakis 7 лет назад

At last! Another video from Objectivity! Yey! *pun alert:* "It was about time!"

@ObjectivityVideos 7 лет назад

+John Violidakis we do videos every week. Do you have alerts/notifications on for us?!

@JohnViolidakis 7 лет назад

Objectivity Yes, of course.I can't complain. We enjoy yorur vides regularly. I just said that deliberately there, just for the pun!

@JohnViolidakis 7 лет назад

*pun alert* Brady: "Use the notification button....Does that ring a bell?"

@TheMickvee 7 лет назад

Wow! That anniversary clock is mindblowing. A true work of art! Love the triple pendulum design. In fact, I love everything about it.

@simontay4851 7 лет назад

I could watch that for hours.

@jonnyhille 7 лет назад

I feel like this is the appropriate time to make clock jokes

@AgentWaltonSimons 7 лет назад

Jonathon Hillestad Except people get really ticked off when you do that. Some people just can't face them. Best to dial it back a bit...

@jonnyhille 7 лет назад

Yeah I see how some could be wound up by that, but surely there's no need for alarm.

@llloyd4 7 лет назад

Well, hearing the word horological reminds me of the last (as of 2017) Pirates of the Caribbean movie where the girl says she's a horologist and Jack and crew think she's a 'lady of the evening'. :D

@HermanVonPetri 7 лет назад

I'd like to just chime in here and say these puns are driving me cuckoo. I hear there's a movement to escape them.

@imfrommanndame 7 лет назад

I'm fascinated by how fascinated Dr. Haran is by seemingly everyday objects.

@DezweenAce 7 лет назад

This episode was great! I love old devices and the workmanship on these old clacks is magnificent. Those intricate parts former students had made were fantastically delicate and precise. It would be amazing to learn to make time pieces like this.

@Philrc 7 лет назад

there's something brilliant about clockwork and clocks, both brilliant and somehow mysterious. I would love to visit this place. Or even better live in it with all those clocks...

@twentytwo_22 7 лет назад

3:49 Are you kidding? These watches sound beautiful, i could listen to a whole video just of them 🕰

@Fantazzim 7 лет назад

Ticking away, the moments, that make up a dull day.

@RollaArtis 7 лет назад

Alan you forgot to mention the reason why there are three pendulums in sync. The idea is that their synchronized vibration will sympathetically influence the vibration of each individual pendulum, and therefore reduce the variations likely to influence a single pendulum due to the escapement or external sources. That's the theory, anyway but even if not effective, it all looks very attractive.

@KosmosHorology 7 лет назад

You're dead right about this. But Alan certainly is aware of this. I'm sure a lot of this chat ended up on the cutting room floor. And the sympathetic behaviour *is most certainly effective in this clock; for one thing, there is no other clock in the world suspended on steel guy lines - any other clock would quickly stop due to movement of the case induced by the induced movement of a single pendulum. The three pendulums mop up each others' waste energy so that very little is lost to the environment, and very little of the environment gets into their little microcosm.

@am2schmarvelous 7 лет назад

That 150th anniversary clock! Very cool.

@StroalOutdoors 7 лет назад

Great video Dr. Haran! That clock towards the end of the video is amazing. It's so impressive how creative they got with a clock.

Well said at the end there. That was a hard question Brady.

@cameronsipka3352 7 лет назад

great episode

@mogret7451 7 месяцев назад

6:04 I'm a bit sceptical to this. There are less wear and tear in a quartz clock. A quartz clock should normaly work fine for many decades and if the movement fails you can replace it for a new one just as you might have to replace the mainspring or a gear in a clock.

The anniversary clock reminded me of the Clock of the Long Now project. Google it, it's fascinating, well worth your time (no pun intended)

@erictaylor5462 6 лет назад

horology is one of those misleading words in English. You can get the "ology" part as "study of" but if you don't know what the "horo" part means, it can lead to misconceptions.

and a 7 minute vid too! feel like he's been milking the Royal Society stuff for too long.

@gazzaboo8461 4 года назад

I couldn't stay there, the sound of clocks is like water torture to my ears 😯 After a short time the sound drives me nuts. I can't sleep in a room with mechanical clocks because my ears tune to them and I can't get the sound out of my head.

@kentrel2 7 лет назад

He's wrong about the quartz clock. There are quartz clocks on the Voyager space probes, going for three decades without maintenance in the coldest parts of the solar system. The same technology keeps quartz watches going for decades too. Tell that to clock snobs when they look down on your cheap Casio. I do. Don't get me wrong. I admire the precision engineering of mechanical clocks, but quartz clocks are a marvel of early electrical engineering and integral to space exploration. I strongly dislike the ad antiquitatem argument. Mechanical is nicer. Quartz is better.

@jamesjacocks6221 7 лет назад

kentrel2. How much did that space clock cost? Your "nicer-better" line was value laden though you make a point about keeping a value out of the equation. Interesting. All arguments are provisional, and I didn't sense you disliked the historic, just wanted to keep it fair. Am I right?

@paulabraham2550 6 лет назад

Exactly so. Indeed despite what he says, your average cheap quartz watch, provided it is made with half decent components, is going to keep running much longer than this absolutely exquisite piece of engineering. But you wouldn`t bother trying to service it because you could just by another cheap watch (probably better still due to advance in technology). The difference is that the commemorative clock is so beautiful that to take that attitude with it would be a crime.
