Bespoke New Clocks

It is often the case that a customer will aspire to owning a clock of a particular style or period design, only to find the type of clock in question is either rare and unavailable or prohibitively expensive. And in both cases still requiring a degree of restoration as an additional cost.

There is another way. Langport clocks, using traditional methods and high quality materials can build bespoke clocks to exact period or customer specification. These clocks beautifully crafted in every detail can then be tailored to exact customer requirements. Complete clocks can be made or cases can be made to house an existing customer movement and dial.

Period designs can be adjusted to improve the proportions of the clock, or to help blend a clock into a specific environment within the home. French polished finishes can be tailored to provide an antique patina of a much older clock, a lustrous wax finish or a high gloss polished surface.

The movements used within these new clocks are often period examples restored to original clock maker’s tolerances. However on occasions new clock movements have been made and in some circumstances mains powered electric movements have also been used.

The inspiration of these bespoke clocks is usually nothing more than a photo from a clock book or a piece that was seen in a museum. From this Langport clocks can draw and design a clock for you that will be as unique as the antiques that inspired you.
