A Quick Look..
Where it all began...
My fascination with horology began early, and in 2003 I embarked on a career as a horologist, scouring car boot sales across the South West of England for treasures. After restoring the clocks I found, I would sell them on to antique shops and markets. What started as a hobby alongside my work as an illustrator soon became more lucrative than my main job.
Gradually, I shifted my focus to finer antiques and eventually specialised in clocks and watches. It’s been a remarkable journey, with new lessons at every turn. The first clock I ever bought was a French 8-day striking slate mantel clock, which I restored in my spare time before selling at the Shepton Mallet flea market three weeks later. That experience sparked a lasting passion.
Our Qualifications
I have worked closely with the British Horological Institute, completing a lot of their short courses. I have also achieved a diploma in clock servicing and restoration through the BHI something I am very proud of. I am an active member of both the British Horology Institute and the Watch Makers Guild. I have also completed short course on topics such as case restoration and dial restoration.
I hold both HND & BA (hons) Degree, with good all round clock and watch knowledge although I continue to learn every day. At Vintage Clocks I am incredibly proud of my Etsy star seller badge. I hope one day to have Richard Prices Job on the Antiques Roadshow.
