I’m passionate about clocks and share my enthusiasm through loaning clocks, watches and artefacts to museums and exhibitions so that the public can see the timepieces at close quarters.

Brochures from recent exhibitions are on sale, with all proceeds going to the Teapot Trust Isle of Man (Charity number: 1285).


The Luxury of Time, Manx Museum, Douglas, Isle of Man

Innovation and Collaboration, Bonhams, London
