This fall, New York City’s Grolier Club will be hosting an exhibition, On Time: The Quest for Precision, that will feature a collection of rare horological books, with some dating to as far back as the 15th century. These fantastically illustrated books offer a glimpse into the historical development of timepieces, from sundials to marine chronometers. The exhibition is drawn from the collections of the Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering & Technology in Kansas City, Missouri, and will be on view September 14 through November 19, at the club’s Manhattan headquarters.
