  • CLOCKS GO FORWARD TONIGHT

    A team of staff and volunteers at the Irish Museum of Time in Waterford are preparing to take shifts to change clocks as they go forward one hour tonight.  More than 600 clocks from Ireland and around the globe, including the oldest clock in the world with an anchor escarpment (the ticking mechanism) made in London by William Clement in 1663, will be adjusted.  Some of them are eight day clocks and have already been adjusted, others have little quirks and moving them forward is an exercise in patience.
