Re: Interesting feature on John Harrison
lovely article - thanks.
i love the fact that often if someone strives for their vision of something never before done, they get written off as being 'insane'.....
i imagine the word 'preposterous' may have been on many august lips at the time too! the sheer audacity of the man!

watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment
