Curious Clocks And Watches Through Time With Oliver Cooke [16m] has everyone's favorite British Museum horologist showing off peculiar clocks and interesting mechanisms from basically the beginning of clock movements. I didn't know this would be so incredibly interesting!

I’ve worn the Bradley tactile wristwatch for many years and love the subtle feel of the raised bars, plus the action of the captured ball bearings when they break free from the magnets. It’s a wonderful timepiece and an excellent example of making an accessible design that is attractive to users who don’t necessarily need the accessible features.

Along with my IBM Thinkpad 701C Butterfly and Mac Plus, it is one of the few things I own that, to quote professor Jones, belong in a museum.
