About us
The Clockworks is a museum, workshop and library for electrical horology.
The museum displays a world-class collection of over 100 electrical clocks, timekeepers and associated technologies, originally assembled by historian James Nye. It charts the development of electrical and networked time between 1840 and 1970.
The collection is supported by a horological library, and an onsite workshop with a regular Conservator-in-Residence. This allows us to operate as a training and development hub for the clockmakers of the future.
Both the museum and library are open by appointment. You can book a slot below.
