Clocks & Instruments

Clocks & Instruments

Some of the most sophisticated engineering in history has gone into things we now consider everyday objects. Travel back hundreds of years and imagine the awe inspired by the intricate mechanics of elaborate clocks or the movement and sound of the piston valve trumpet.

Our Clocks & Instruments auction features elegantly decorated timepieces, mechanically impressive clockwork objects, and instruments that hit just the right note, aid celestial navigation or measure medical and scientific advances.

We host a Clocks & Musical Instruments auction every twelve weeks. Get in touch today for a complimentary valuation or to discuss any aspect of the auction. Call us on 0141 810 2880 or enquire using the form below.
