Worshipful Company of Clockmakers
The
Worshipful Company of Clockmakers is one of the
Livery Companies of the
City of London. The Clockmakers were formed by a
Royal Charter in 1631. Originally, no person was allowed to sell clocks unless a member of the Company. However, such requirements have been relaxed and removed. The Company now exists as a charitable institution, as do a majority of Livery Companies.
The Clockmakers' Company ranks sixty-first in the
order of precedence for Livery Companies. Its motto is
Tempus Rerum Imperator, Latin for
Time Commands All Things.
