elcome to Early Clocks, a website
dedicated to the study, collecting
and appreciation of early English clocks and sundials.
Key-Wound 30-hour
c1668-1670
The collection features a selection of rare and historically important clocks and sundials dating from c.1625 onwards, including several exceptional lantern clocks, several illustrated alongside contemporary paintings to place them in their historical context. It also includes examples of early clocks bearing religious verses and devotional inscriptions on their dials, reflecting the close relationship between timekeeping and faith in seventeenth-century England.
As a collector and researcher, I continue to acquire significant original pieces, particularly Lantern Clocks, Sundials, and early clocks with dial inscriptions of historical or religious interest. If you have an item that you think may be of interest to me, please Contact Me
