The history of Fibonacci's clock is quite intriguing, as it combines the fascinating world of mathematics with the practical application of timekeeping. The clock is named after Leonardo Fibonacci, also known as Leonardo of Pisa, an Italian mathematician from the Middle Ages.

Did a little timekeeping yesterday... my team of 3 runners put in a good effort in support of the Black Cockatoo Foundation promoting mental health & mental health awareness. The race goes on for 2 more days, under the watchful eyes of others now, to Chillagoe!

Show them the basics - health, timekeeping, hard work and most of all fun 🤩

Something as basic as a weekend away in a caravan in rainy Wales on rugby tour is all it takes to realise how much they need you

What is time? This hidden force that controls our lives—a force one can invest in, yet can't buy. But has this always been the case for our kind? Does the timekeeping system we use now, segmented into seconds and minutes, truly work to our benefit? In the realm of digital

ThinkingWest Today, we have atomic clocks, which are the most accurate timekeeping devices in practical use today. Accurate to within a few seconds over many thousands of years, they are used to calibrate other clocks and timekeeping instruments.

'Wheel of Eternity' I call this one, because St. Mark's Clock in Venice is one of those oh-so-mechanical yet so ornate pieces of timekeeping you can't help but love. The zodiac, the planets, the stars, the hours all in a loop, never beginning, never ending...

Dozens of other timekeeping methods were invented including incense clocks, candle clocks, hour glasses, and astrolabes which used gears to chart the movements of the stars.
