We have an extensive specialist library of horological material, which researchers are welcome to visit.

Journals

We have long runs of Antiquarian Horology, The Horological Journal (1858-1917; 1994 to date), The Watch and Clockmaker, the NAWCC Bulletin and Clocks (1978 to date).

Auction Catalogues

We have most auction house catalogues that include electric clocks, from the 1990s to present.

Reference works

The Clockworks has the main works on electrical timekeeping from the UK, Germany, Switzerland and elsewhere, including many early editions.

There is also a significant collection of ephemera, including original product catalogues, correspondence and other information about early electric clock companies.

We are working towards a searchable online catalogue of the Library’s holdings; in the meantime, if you would like to book a research visit, or enquire about what you can see, please contact us.
