This episode explores ten unusual approaches: sundials, water clocks, sandglasses, candle clocks, oil-lamp clocks, incense clocks, al-Jazari's Elephant Clock, Congreve rolling-ball clocks, industrial punch clocks, and Cambridge's Corpus Clock. It is a tour through the ingenious, theatrical, and sometimes wonderfully strange ways people have made time visible, audible, and measurable.
