A marine chronometer is a timepiece that is precise and accurate enough to be used as a portable time standard; it can therefore be used to determine longitude by means of celestial navigation.

When first developed in the 18th century, it was a major technical achievement, as accurate knowledge of the time over a long sea voyage is necessary for navigation, lacking electronic or communications aids.

The first true chronometer was the life work of one man, John Harrison, spanning 31 years of persistent experimentation and testing that revolutionized naval (and later aerial) navigation and enabling the Age of Discovery and Colonialism to accelerate.

Horology (via Latin horologium from Greek, from hṓra "hour; time" and -o- interfix and suffix -logy; literally "the study of time") is the art and/or science of measuring time.

Ancient Sanskrit language has a similar word hora (होरा) meaning hour.

This word is also used as a measurement of time.Clocks, watches, clockwork, sundials, hourglasses, clepsydras, timers, time recorders, marine chronometers and atomic clocks are all examples of instruments used to measure time.

In current usage, horology refers mainly to the study of mechanical time-keeping devices, while chronometry more broadly includes electronic devices that have largely supplanted mechanical clocks for the best accuracy and precision in time-keeping.

A watch is a small timepiece intended to be carried or worn by a person.

It is designed to keep working despite the motions caused by the person's activities.

A wristwatch is designed to be worn around the wrist, attached by a watch strap or other type of bracelet.
