horology is the study of the measurement of the passage of time. Antique clocks are antiques in motion, have a special significance in family heritage and can be passed down from generation to generation; the origins of these timepieces or heirlooms can often be traced back to the maker. Additionally, the influences that styles, trends and society might have had on it can also be seen. Clocks were, more or less, hand built. A good maker would only build a handful of clocks... a year. Clocks historically were often made by prominent scientists or designed by mathematicians, astronomers or the furniture designers of the day. Not everyone or anyone could make clocks, in fact it required a seven year apprenticeship and the making of a masterpiece to be granted the freedom to be able to make clocks and call yourself a journeyman or clockmaker.

Hoshen/Choshen in Hebrew refers to the sacred breastplate worn by the Jewish high priest, according to the Book of Exodus. In the biblical account, the breastpl...ate is termed the breastplate of judgement because the Urim and Thummim, which were used in divination, were placed within it. The twelve jewels in the breastplate were each to be made from specific minerals, none of them the same as another, and each of them representative of a specific tribe. See more
