"Proceedings from the Dutch-English symposium on the invention of the pendulum clock... Many aspects of the invention [were] discussed, such as the development of clock technology prior to the invention of the pendulum clock, the scientific interest of Christiaan Huygens, the international dissemination of scientific ideas and the competition surrounding the invention... As can be seen in the exhibition, the battle over the invention of the pendulum clock is mainly a Dutch-English controversy." --
