Not carrying utilitarian character Admiration of hours was peculiar not only to the West. The Chinese officers Willingly accepted them in a gift from dealers, and became greedy collectors Hours though in any way them in practice did not use.

Occurrence This market it has appeared the big good luck because small hours threw - a call to ability and art of masters, than tower and wall, and consequently They in a greater degree promoted progress of exact mechanics. Interest to hours ate love to fine or to astronomy, but behind one Exception: marine chronometres. Almost till the end of a XVIII-th century seamen not Possessed reliable and exact methods for longitude measurement, and as a result It is a lot of ships, human lives and consignments was lost on shallows and reeves, Which as it was supposed, have defended on many miles from an accident place. With The help of tools of a XVIII-th century it was possible with sufficient accuracy to define Zenith, - time when the sun reaches the maximum height over horizon. Hours which accurately would show time on were for this purpose necessary To longitude 0 _ that seamen could compare time of local zenith to indicators Chronometre and to calculate the longitude: each hour of a difference per time Corresponds 15_ longitudes. In a XVIII-th century accuracy of hours depended on a pendulum, Which was not reliable on such unstable platform, as the ship. "A longitude Was a great secret that epoch, a riddle for seafarers, a call for Scientists, a stumbling-block for kings and statesmen.
