The Midsummer Chronophage clock is one of two clocks in the world to show the experience of relative time. Developed by British inventor Dr John C Taylor, the clock is inspired by the idea that everyone experiences time differently.

The Midsummer Chronophage clock is just one invention in John Taylor’s life’s work. His most successful invention, a kettle control, is used one billion times everyday.

Hear John Taylor talking about invention and his life’s work in a specially commissioned interview that will be playing on gallery or find out about time with a new trail.
