Christopher (Tommy) Jobson FBHI - Horologist

Coming from a long family tradition of clock making Tommy has horology in his blood.

Tommy has gained a wealth of experience working on Swiss watches having worked previously for Longines. Tommy is a Fellow of the British Horological Institute, member of the British Watch and Clockmakers Guild, trade member of the Alliance of British Watch and Clockmakers, and a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers.

Specialist Services

I am a specialist in the care, conservation, repair, restoration, and servicing of antique clocks and marine chronometers. I have specialist equipment enabling me to carry out all aspects of work in house.

Clockmaking

I am excited to be in a fairly unique situation where I have built a large library of experience through years of high end restoration work. I have collected the techniques, tools, machines and crafts required to make clocks completely from scratch. I choose not to use CNC or many other modern practices as, although they are very useful in their place, they do not help with the continuity of clock making as a craft and a tradition as a whole. This is something I am passionate about and I want to maintain my approach to keep alive the ability to make a clock from start to finish, in one workshop and by hand.

Youtube

I have a youtube channel covering my horological work.
