"Time and Place" An exhibition by the Antiquarian Horological Society at the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford, ran from 25th November 2006 to 15th April 2007. Covers English Country (not London) Clocks 1600-1840. It was pleasing to note that 5 of the 68 clocks chosen for this pivotal exhibition had been through our workshops!
 
"BHI 150th". Last year was the Horological Institute's 150th year and the Institute threw a huge show last summer, June 2008. We exhibited there again and were pleased to see many of our customers and to see the lectures, auctions, unveiling of the three pendulum Project 150 clock, the BHI tourbillon watch goes on sale, stonking raffle with prizes from Rolex, Mont Blanc and others...
 
There will be another big show next summer, we will be exhibiting clock repair and dial restoration, so we hope you will join us!
 
INDEPENDENT WATCH REPAIRERS FORUM
The BHI plan to hold a repairer's one day conference at Upton Hall on Subday March 28th 2010. Please ask us or ask Briony at Upton for details. Speakers yet to be confirmed but there will no doubt be plenty of time allowed for swapping notes and tales.
 

Originally built in 1558 and given a new facade in 1849 when the adjoining town bridge was re-built, our shop is a typical example of Ketton limestone and Collyweston stone roof construction.

We are on the same side of the road (the old "Great North Road") and just over the bridge from one of Englands great coaching inns: The George Hotel which dates back around a thousand years. It's comfortable rooms and restaurants are soothed by a number of fine antique clocks.

Parking is available on Bath Row. Please note carefully where you park: some spaces are free, some are charged. There is, just, space to get a vehicle to our back door for deliveries/ collection. The postcode to our back door is PE9 2HG.
