Hello, my name is Chris Bessent and my business is The Clockmaker. Welcome to my website. I have been working with clocks since the late 1970’s. Like many small boys, I enjoyed taking things apart (and sometimes even putting them back together again!) but in my case it developed into a passion and a profession.
I served my apprenticeship with a large independent jewellers in Wiltshire who were also Rolex agents. I stayed with them for a total of ten years during which time I developed my expertise and gained substantial experience of all types of clocks. After managing a high street jewellers in Bath, I spent a number of years in a variety of horological workshops around the country including those supporting the London trade.

My move to Hungerford came in 2000 where I began to build up my own repair and restoration business. I moved to my present location in 2003 when I took over a superbly located shop just off the High Street.
For the past ten years, in addition to servicing and restoring clocks and barometers, I have been making clocks from scratch using the wide variety of skills gained in a lifetime’s experience.
I also teach others how to repair clocks. Thank you for taking the time to have a look at my website. I hope you find what you are looking for and that I shall be able to be of service to you, now or in the future.
