In today's Watch and Learn, I’ll discuss why the marine chronometer was just an important invention. With it, mariners could determine their longitude, making navigation much more precise.

For more in-depth knowledge of this truly unique topic, check out the literary work of Dava Sobel. I recommend reading the book called Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time and Winner of British Book of The Year.
