- to attempt to set the clock makers' endeabours in the context of their day, in relation to the social, cultural, scientific and business climate of the time.
The exhibition with include examples of clocks from a wide range of makers but will focus on the most important London workshops of the period, including:
- the Fromanteel family and associates,
- the Knibb family and associates,
