We have had a deal of fun over the years, handling both important mechanisms and finding one or two previously undiscovered treasures that are now in the British Museum.

What we enjoy most of all is rescuing clocks that are thought to be beyond repair and are destined for the scrap heap. Sometimes they arrive in over a hundred pieces or more with the owner absolutely sure that nothing can be done with them. It is wonderful to see such an item restored to its former glory and ready to give service into the 22nd Century and beyond.

Being in the media doesn’t necessarily make you good at your job, but we have been featured on local radio and several BBC2 Programmes.
