When the discrete time-translation symmetry of isolated, periodically driven systems is spontaneously broken, a new phase of matter can emerge. We review some recent developments on both the theoretical underpinnings and experimental realizations of time crystalline order. Particular attention is placed on delineating the key features of time crystals, which distinguish them from other oscillatory non-equilibrium phenomena.
