Establishing the governing principles for accessing the Chronicle of Time digital archive. By engaging with our research on clock tower history and architectural heritage, you agree to the ethical and legal standards outlined herein.
Chronicle of Time provides educational information about clock towers, timekeeping history, and design. Accessing this site signifies your unconditional acceptance of these terms. If you do not agree with any part of these governance standards, we request that you discontinue your use of our digital resources immediately.
This platform serves as a factual reference on historic clocks, mechanisms, and architectural context. Our content is strictly informational and non-commercial. We maintain these terms to ensure the integrity of the timekeeping history data we present to architecture students, horologists, and researchers worldwide.
While we strive for chronometric precision in our documentation of mechanical clock design, history is an evolving field. We reserve the right to modify content as new restoration findings or historical manuscripts emerge. Users are responsible for verifying data before academic citation.
The clock mechanism technical diagrams and explanatory visuals provided on this site are protected by copyright. We offer a descriptive overview of clockmaking traditions and heritage architecture for personal study and non-commercial research only. Any reproduction of these diagrams for commercial gain is strictly prohibited without explicit written consent from our curators in Dubai.
Users are granted a limited license to access neutral content explaining time measurement systems and public clock structures. You may not use any data mining, robots, or similar data gathering and extraction methods to harvest technical specifications regarding the evolution of timekeeping or architectural landmarks archived within these pages.
Details on clock mechanisms explained and engineering of clocks are provided as reference material. While founded on modern horological science, they should not be used as instructional manuals for restoration of live public time structures.
Chronicle of Time acts as an independent repository. We hold no official representation of any specific historic clock towers or government entities. Our status remains that of a neutral educational reference.
The platform's content regarding clockmaking traditions and cultural time symbols may change without notice. We are not liable for any temporary unavailability of the reference database.
