The collection at The Clockworks was assembled over 30 years by horologist and historian James Nye. It includes over 150 examples of electrical clocks and associated technologies from across Europe, spanning c.1840 up to the 1970s. These are displayed in an onsite museum charting the development of electrical and precision horology, and the concept of synchronised, or ‘universal’ time. The collection is supported by a substantial specialist horological library and archive.
