Showroom

Currently, the Lewes showrooms are open  Thursdays and Fridays, 10am to 3:30pm, and Saturdays 10am to 1pm (or by appointment).

Over the last six months, we have been busy. We have expanded into additional workshops from where on Tuesdays and Wednesdays we are now able to concentrate on our conservation and restoration work on Early English Clocks. This has also doubled our space which was very much needed. If you want to email us with any enquiries please do so. If you are coming a long distance please call first.

Restoration

We undertake restoration of antique clocks for customers from all over the country. Both the clocks that are for sale, and our customers clocks are sympathetically conserved or restored as appropriate, by skilled and experienced clockmakers in our large 18th century workshop beneath the Galleries in Lewes. All the clocks are given a long guarantee and customers are welcome to visit the workshop to see the work as it progresses to completion.
