John Harrison,
invented the marine chronometer.
Marine timekeeper ̕”H4”
Harrison’s “Sea Watch” No. 1 (H4)
5•2 inches (13cm) in diameter.

“Chronology, the organization of time, and the way in
which life flows in fiction are different from real time;
and the organization of time is one of the aspects in
which you can trace the originality of a fictitious world.
The way in which each novelist, each fiction writer,
organizes the time structure is what gives his literary
work its originality and, again, its sovereignty.
I discovered the importance of a coherent system
for the narrator and for the time structure in
The Time of the Hero.”
From; A Writer’s Reality by Mario Vargas Llosa
