City Clocks

Jeffrey Rosson and his skilled team look after London's clocks in public buildings, museums, boardrooms, wine bars and people's homes. They are not limited to London and apply their skills all over the UK and in other countries.

The skills of City Clocks are applied to barometers as well as to a wide variety of types of clock. The London shop is an Aladdin's cave of clocks including longcase clocks and bracket clocks. They range from robust school clocks to musical grandfathers.
