horology

Horology is the study and measurement of time, focusing on the creation and understanding of timekeeping devices like clocks and watches. It combines science, craftsmanship, and engineering to develop accurate, reliable, and often intricate instruments that track time. Horologists work on designing, repairing, and maintaining timepieces, appreciating both their technological precision and aesthetic beauty. The field also explores the history and evolution of timekeeping methods, reflecting how humans have measured time over centuries to improve daily life and technological progress.
