EXHIBITIONS
 
"Time and Place" An exhibition by the Antiquarian Horological Society at the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford, ran from 25th November 2006 to 15th April 2007. Covers English Country (not London) Clocks 1600-1840. It was pleasing to note that 5 of the 68 clocks chosen for this pivotal exhibition had been through our workshops!
 
"BHI 150th". This is the Horological Institute's 150th year and the Institute threw a huge show this summer between the 7th and 15th of June 2008. We exhibited there again and were pleased to see many of our customers and to see the lectures, auctions, unveiling of the three pendulum Project 150 clock, the BHI tourbillon watch goes on sale, stonking raffle with prizes from Rolex, Mont Blanc and others...
 
There will be another big show next summer, at the end of our 150th year, so we hope you will join us!
