Marine chronometer no. 12 by John Arnold (1735/6-99, meachinism). It was perhaps he and his rival Thomas Earnshaw who can be credited with creating a marine timekeeper that was inexpensive and simple to make but reliable enough to be used as a longitude finding instrument. London, England, about 1778-1779. The simple white enamel dial is designed to show the hours, minutes and seconds. Inv. 1958,1006.2067.
