Private tour of the Clock collection and lunch

Thursday 22nd May 2025

Start: 11:15am | Finish: 3pm approx.

There are only 2 more places available, as this event has been allocated.  The Worshipful Company of Clockmakers holds the oldest world-class collection of clocks, watches and items relating to the art of horology, on permanent display at the Science Museum in London.
 
The narrative of the Museum's display focuses particularly on the development of clock and watchmaking in London in the period between c.1600 and 1850. It includes pieces by many of the great London makers, including John Fromanteel, Edward East, Daniel Quare and Thomas Tompion. Part of the display also looks at contemporary British clock and watchmaking and includes a number of pieces by the eminent watchmaker Dr George Daniels. 

We are privileged that our guided tour of the exhibits will be given by the collections curator and chairman.  After the visit we will have a three-course lunch with a difference at a nearby Polish restaurant.

Members who wish to attend the lunch only are welcome to apply to so do however, those who book for the tour will be given priority as numbers are limited and for the same reason we are offering this event also on  18^th September – event 24.
