The clock’s commission required a high degree of accuracy; specifications by Astronomer Royal George Airy stipulated that “the first stroke of the hour bell should register the time, accurate to within one second per day, and furthermore, it should telegraph its performance twice a day to Greenwich Observatory, where a record would be kept.” It is now one of London’s most iconic landmarks.
