Whether you’re addicted to clock repair videos on Youtube, or you’ve never given the tickers a second thought, you’ll still be surprised at the beauty of the 20 ornate timepieces on display in the Science Museum’s latest exhibition ‘Zimingzhong 凝时聚珍: Clockwork Treasures from China’s Forbidden City’. From huge jewel-encrusted elephant-shaped carriage clocks to glistening gold pagoda-shaped styles, the exhibition brings together treasures loved by Chinese emperors from the Forbidden City which also shines a light on the origins of the unique trade and the inner workings of the elaborate treasures that inspired British craftsmen and emperors.
