Antique Clocks & Barometers

Antique clocks are unique and reflect the craftsmanship of their makers. They are not just functional pieces, antique clocks, those that are 100, 200 or 300 years old depict the stylistic trends of their period. Each clock is a “living” functional piece of antique furniture. Their constant tick is comforting and re-assuring. Each clock represents the clockmakers' collaboration with his livery or guild peers, with his suppliers and of the cabinetmakers of the day who helped create an item of enduring beauty.

I created this website to share horological information and to provide the knowledge that may help educate those interested in the world of antique clocks and watches.
