In a Victorian brick building on Hungerford's High Street, The Clockmaker is dedicated to the creation and care of handcrafted clocks to the highest standards of workmanship.

Founder and owner Chris Bessent started making and repairing clocks as an apprentice in a Rolex agency jewellers in Wiltshire, and he ran workshops in various parts of the country before starting his own business producing handmade clocks of the highest quality, each one an individual work of art.

The Clockmaker also restores a range of clocks, from simple mantle clocks to complex multi-functioning mechanisms. Chris and his staff work with master cabinetmakers, conservators of fine art and decorative art specialists, ensuring that every aspect of the work receives the closest attention.
