Building the Corpus Clock

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Harry Bullivant .

The new Corpus Christi College Clock was inaugurated by Professor Stephen Hawkins in September 2008 as the first clock in the world that sets out to show time as relative.

The Clock’s design is unique, taking over 5 years and £1m to make, having been a personal project for Dr Taylor, who will explain some of the concepts involved in its design. Formerly an Undergraduate at Corpus, Dr Taylor created a highly successful thermostat design used in many kettles and similar products.

Entry, refreshments and wine are free of charge for University members.
