His unique timepieces made it possible for the first time for British naval officers to accurately calculate their longitude position.

Fusees were used as early as the 15th century to the early 20th century to improve timekeeping by equalizing the uneven pull of the mainspring as it ran down.” (from\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fusee_(horology)\" target=\"\"\u003eWIkipedia\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comitti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52936166408503,"sku":null,"price":26250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2486\/2344\/files\/imgi_8_S5666B_edited_2048x_5e218a55-53c3-40a8-a208-7c02712721d2.jpg?v=1788282344","url":"https:\/\/timelyandtimeless.com\/products\/comitti-navigator-s5666b-table-clock-limited-edition-black-rhodium-plated-gloss-carbon-fibre-base","provider":"Timely \u0026 Timeless","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
