John Harrison (1693-1776) invented an accurate marine chronometer after several decades of research and development. While the pendulum clock had already been invented in the 17th century, a clock that could withstand the vagaries of the sea, humidity, and air temperature remained an elusive dream. Harrison's last watch, the H5 of 1770, was so accurate that mariners could finally measure their longitude wherever they were at sea.

El cronómetro marino de Harrison
John Harrison (1693-1776) inventó un cronómetro marino de precisión después de varias décadas de investigaciones y desarrollos. Si bien el reloj de péndulo se había inventado ya en el siglo XVII, conseguir un reloj capaz de soportar los caprichos del mar, la humedad y la temperatura ambiental seguía siendo un sueño difícil de alcanzar. El último reloj de Harrison, el H5 de 1770, funcionaba al fin con tal precisión que les hizo posible medir la longitud a los marineros, con independencia de dónde se encontraran en el océano.
