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 31,961 records in it's 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 28,417 individual trade directory entries from 320 trade directories and more detailed biographies for 3544 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.

Notes:
Due to the dynamic nature of the addition of Trade Directories to our library, these results may show additional dates to the text above.
Some maker's names may have a number after them, i.e. Doe, John(1). This means that the maker was listed at more than one address in a trade directory so we have highlighted this to show that the different addresses have been proved to be the same maker.

These are taken from trade directories etc and it is quite possible that they were working for longer periods than shown above.
