The Clockmakers' Museum — Attraction in London

📍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!
