Our Story
Howard Walwyn’s love of English clocks began in the late 1960s when he bought his first clock for a few pounds on his way to school. His passion for antiquarian horology has never diminished and he has devoted the past 30 years of his life collecting, buying and selling English clocks. Howard has been trading in London’s prestigious Kensington Church Street for over twenty years.
Since 2002 Howard has been a Freeman of the Clockmakers’ Company and he has exhibited and served on the clock vetting committees at the major international art and antiques fairs in London and New York. He is also a member of all three major antiques trade associations: BADA, CINOA and LAPADA. Over the years Howard has sold a number of clocks to museums both in the UK and abroad and to major collectors worldwide. Notable recent projects include advising on the acquisition of twenty five exceptional timepieces for the Dumfries House Trust, Scotland, whose patron is the Prince of Wales.
