- The face of a clock is as familiar as our own reflection. Yet our relationship to time remains a mystery. Timepieces is more than the journey of hands around a face; it is the story of our quest to understand our place in the universe.
- Timepieces is the story of our struggle to control not just our world, but our own destiny. From the sundials of ancient Egypt to the high fashion of European monarchy, to the pocket watch that became an icon of America's Western frontier, and to the atomic clock now accurate to within a trillionth of a second per day, the evolution of the timepiece provides us with a framework for better understanding where we are and where are we going in our obsession with time. Join renowned timepiece expert, business owner and theologian Jonathan Mattson along with special guests in the fields of physics, astronomy, philosophy, and theology as we seek to understand the meaning of our position in time and space. We may be surprised to find, at the end of the day, that though the ancient Egyptians looked up at the stars and we look down at our watches, we face the same realities. The motion of the heavens, the strange passing of time, and the knowledge that if our story has a beginning, then it must also have an end.
