The clockmakers' museum is situated within the Guildhall Library building (Aldermanbury, London EC2) and is open Monday to Saturday 9.30am - 4.45pm.

The collection was begun in 1814 and is the oldest collection specifically of watches and clocks in the world. It represents the fruits of years of research, planning, conservation and acquisitions by the Clockmakers' Company.

Since the museum reopened in June 2002, the clocks are displayed in high quality modern showcases and tell the story of the clockmakers of London.

The exhibition will appeal not just to horologists, but to anyone with an interest in the past, in social history or in fine craftsmanship.
