Motto: The Worshipful Company of Clockmakers
Working with love and precision, Ray Bates sets antique clocks ticking again--and breathes some life into an age-old craft: "I call myself a clockmaker, but in reality what I do is reanimate," says Bates matter-of-factly. "Clocks are close to living things. The way the original makers constructed them predetermines how they will act, so while they may not be a living entity, they represent the ongoing creation of their makers. It's my job to get inside the minds and hearts of the original makers, to be in communion with them, to make their works live again."
Established in London in 1957, The British Clockmaker has become an American institution! Ray Bates is known internationally as a consultant, and restorer of major clock collections, public and private, throughout the USA and Canada. He appears frequently on TV, and has been featured in many magazine articles.
On the 12th April 2010, Ray was made a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, in London.
The Clockmakers' Company is an active City of London craft guild or "Livery Company" and was founded under a Royal Charter of King Charles I in 1631. The Clockmakers' Company is the oldest surviving Horological institution in the world. Its museum constitutes the oldest collection specifically of clocks, watches, and sundials in existence.
