Leonardo and the Enterprise of Time Measurement

On the occasion of Milan MuseoCity 2026, the Leonardo3 Museum will exhibit two new works. These are models of machines inspired faithfully by the time-measuring devices studied and designed by Leonardo in two manuscripts dating back to his early Milanese period during the Sforza era (both datable to the beginning of the last decade of the 15th century): Atlantic Codex, f. 754 recto; Madrid Codex I, f. 27 verso.
Made of iron in collaboration with a renowned clockmaker, they also testify to Leonardo3's ability to operate synergistically with qualified external craftsmen, thus offering its contribution as a cultural operator and aggregation center to the implementation of a city network among businesses, professionals, and specialists.
