At last some coverage of the major cyber attack at @britishlibrary & the impact this has had on researchers. It is a critical piece of national infrastructure. Worrying if they will have to spend 40% of their reserves on rebuilding their digital services

That should be on the front page of all British newspapers. How the #CyberAttack could happen ? Whats the #government response?

Muebles de madera carbonizados, casas con sus tejados intactos y hasta un teatro excavado bajo los escombros volcánicos a 26 metros de profundidad. En este #HiloRomano dedicado a Herculano descubrirás algunas de las maravillas más desconocidas que el Vesubio enterró en el año 79

Un pequeño terremoto se acaba de sentir en Pompeya. Nadie se ha alarmado, la población de la zona está acostumbrada a soportarlos cada cierto tiempo sin conocer bien su origen y naturaleza. Pero hoy los hados tienen reservado algo diferente. Comienza el desastre… #HiloRomano

This week the horological world has lost one of the modern day experts in the field of turret clocks. He will be greatly missed by all his family and friends and everyone in the turret clock world. He was our go to expert especially where Big Ben was concerned.

Last century, it took a whole five years to get from the Titanic naval disaster to the Russian revolution, but we managed it in only five days.

No solo la erupción del Vesubio mató a los pompeyanos… Las excavaciones más recientes de Pompeya nos sorprenden con el hallazgo de los cuerpos de dos personas que no murieron arrasadas por el flujo piroclástico del volcán. Sígueme en este #HiloRomano para saber qué les ocurrió

Want a handy time-check when the clocks go forward tonight? Here's a Big Ben time map. You'll thank me at one a.m. trust me

I have a Dent watch from 1845. I visited the @guildhalllibrary and found it in the stock book of the Dent shop. The watch was recorded on 13 August 1845 and sold to Mr. Atchison on January 1846 #watchobsession #historyofhorology #victorianlondon #dentwatch @ldnmetarchives

I find these compartmented boxes very useful to store my pocket watches. They are slightly padded and have a lid to protect its contents. The compartments should be ideally a bit bigger, but they are still useful. #watchobsession #sterlingsilver #englishhorology #temeaningoflife

Today before the AHS lecture I visited the @guildhalllibrary to search for my Dent watch from 1845 in the Dent stock books and I found it!

A bit more info on that rather special piece of work that was keeping me busy a few months ago.... https://t.co/Z940YXKavW
