📍The Clockmakers' Museum 🇬🇧

believed to be the oldest collection specifically of clocks and watches in the world. The collection belongs to and is administered by the Clockmakers’ Charity, affiliated with the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, founded in 1631 by royal charter.

These photos were taken at the Clockmakers’ Museum, during my visit at the Science Museum: a marine timekeeper, two longcase clocks, an orrery clock. Each of these pieces tells a story — and with the help of Guildhall Library’s collections, you might discover the story behind one of the clocks pictured here.

The Guildhall Library offers a wide range of resources for researchers, collectors, and enthusiasts alike. These include the libraries of the Clockmakers’ Company and the Antiquarian Horological Society, the records of the Clockmakers’ company and many sources in the Library’s general collections such as directories. Whether you are looking to learn about a maker’s life, understand how timepieces were made, or identify who made a particular clock or watch, Guildhall Library is a great place to start. Come to visit our Library!

A small but delightful display of the British clockwork ingenuity that will not fail to impress. Beware the Google Map directions take you to the rear of the building next to Imperial College building. A very pretty lady came out on seeing me wandering around trying to find my bearings and took me to the entrance which was quite a walk. You should go to science museum 2ND...

This is located on the second floor of the science museum(free entry).

They have built a compact capsule of information about clockmakers in London. It gives a glimpse of how the clock industry evolved from the late 16th century to the present day. There was an elderly gentleman who acted as a volunteer but I had only a brief...

TICK TOCK is seldom heard at Britain’s Clockmaker’s Museum, now on the second floor of London’s Science Museum. The collection of time pieces old and new, instead, tells a tale little known: how and why something as mundane as tracking the passage of time mattered in history and science. Also, there are many beautiful objects.
