About clockswatches.com

This web site was started in 1997 and it holds information that we have found about various clock and watchmakers, and so far has 35,431 records in its database. The information comes from listings published in books and trade directories that we have in our library, giving dates that makers are known to have been working. At the moment, the database includes 31,758 individual trade directory entries from 360 trade directories and more detailed biographies for 3673 makers and retailers.

The information is not necessarily all there is to know about the maker, but it is a digest of all we have found in our researches.
We specialise in British and Irish makers.
