Welcome to clockmuseum.co.uk.
 
This site aims to share my passion for clocks.
 
The site is divided into the three areas of horology that interest me. They are:-
 
Please use the menu above to follow the links to each type of clock and click on the pictures to expand them.

Turret Clocks or Tower clocks are those pieces of Horological machinery that exist behind Church and Public building clock faces. They were really only ever seen by the person who once a week went up the tower to wind them and yet they can be incredibly ornate and detailed. Probably the most famous Turret Clock is the Great Clock of Westminster (Popularly known as Big Ben, although this name actually refers to the bell and not the clock.) The Great Clock of Westminster is actually 150 years old this year.
 
Electric Master Clocks  were used in many factory, office, school and public buildings in the past to distribute synchronised time around the building. Many of these clocks went into the skip as soon as quartz clocks became cheaply available and the cost of keeping the master clock well maintained became too much.
 
Other Interesting Clocks. Unusual, strange, wierd & wacky clocks.
 

If you know of any interesting Turret Clocks or Electric Master Clocks for sale or to trade please let me know by emailing electric_turret at yahoo.co.uk. I am always on the look out for something unusual & will travel throughout the UK and Europe for something special.
The Clocks on this website are generally not for sale but if you see something that interests you please contact me via the email address above as I have many contacts in the UK and Europe and may well be able to source what you are looking for.
