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 museum is supported by a horological library, and a Conservator-in-Residence who works from our onsite workshop. The workshop supports the collection, but is also a training and development hub for the clockmakers of the future
