        People were doing that long before there were clocks that worked on ships.

      The idea of a printing press was revolutionary but it’s just an engraved plate, ink, later and a weight on a lever.

      I’m confident I could make a printing press without plans having seen one. I’m not confident I could design an accurate watch.

      I might manage a pendulum clock. Just. But that’s far less useful.
