#Haute horology meaning professional#
Horology and horologists have numerous organizations, both professional associations and more scholarly societies. That term is used both by people who deal professionally with timekeeping apparatuses (watchmakers, clockmakers), as well as aficionados and scholars of horology. People interested in horology are called horologists. In current usage, horology refers mainly to the study of mechanical time-keeping devices, while chronometry more broadly includes electronic devices that have largely supplanted mechanical clocks for the best accuracy and precision in time-keeping. Clocks, watches, clockwork, sundials, hourglasses, clepsydras, timers, time recorders, marine chronometers, and atomic clocks are all examples of instruments used to measure time. 'the study of time' related to Latin horologium from Ancient Greek ὡρολόγιον ( hōrológion) 'instrument for telling the hour' from ὥρα ( hṓra) 'hour, time', interfix -o-, and suffix -logy) is the study of the measurement of time.
