Clocks & Chimes, specialise in handcrafting pendulum (or longcase) floor and wall clocks, designed with a contemporary feel and made from locally sourced sustainable British hardwoods.
These elegant cases house precision engineered movements of the highest quality from Germany's movement manufacturers, Kieninger® - the oldest existing manufacturer and Hermle - the world's leading producer.
Based in Lanarkshire, the business was set up by Tom Harris after a career in operations management in the public and private sectors. Having originally studied contruction and design at Beachley College, Tom is primarily a self taught woodworker; developing his skills over the years, with formal specific cabinet making courses together with the support of master craftsmen. Tom builds each clock to order, producing clocks that enhance any home, or organisation's boardroom, reception area or an individual's office. He enjoys creating a beautiful piece of furniture, which others can take satisfaction in owning.
Quality is the business's driving principle; achieved by applying good design, using only the best materials and employing a blend of traditional skills with a modern manufacturing approach. Resulting in a limited number of hand-built clocks made to order, attracting the discerning customer looking for something unique and special.
Subject to workload, each floor and wall clock is ready for delivery in four to six weeks from ordering. UK mainland delivery and setting up is included in the price of the floor and large wall clocks.
The business also supplies small desk clocks. Each handcrafted clock is individual in its design, made from real hardwoods and houses a miniature quartz clock movement. The result is a delightful and unique gift suitable for any occasion.
