Up the stairs and left - watch gallery at the science museum
Hi All
Had a day wandering round London yesterday - thought I'd take a look at the watch gallery in the science museum, after see a blog about it.
Plenty to see and it adds to what's in the British museum & the Royal Observatory - so plenty of watch/clock related stuff to distract you 
.
Some photos!
Pocket watch made by Derek Platter - an English watchmaker based in Switzerland , looking at dates seems a contemporary with George Daniels.
There are also a couple of Daniels watches on display as well, but my photos didn't do them justice.
Last couple are of a clock made by John Harrison almost entirely out of wood.
Cheers
JML

It's near all the trains, steam engines and some space exhibits in a little stand alone case. Almost like they didn't know what to do with it! Saw the Nautilus & model of the co - axial escapement too. Was wandering around on the hour and all the clocks s...
