SPEAK WITH A SALES CONSULTANT

Specialists in Historic Timepieces

Comitti of London craftspeople use their honed, specialized skills to create truly special, heritage timepieces. The cabinetry work created for Comitti’s longcase clocks reflect the skills and traditions of a bygone age, influenced by classical architecture of the 18th and 19th centuries. Seasoned hardwoods and exquisite veneers are selected, cut, and inlaid by hand – each piece is unique. Marquetry allows artisans to create one-of-a-kind patterns or pictures, and the practice of japanning imbues artists with creativity when painting grandfather clock dials. 

Chinoiserie construction features lacquered cabinetry that incorporates stylized motifs from eastern lands. Modern day work done by Comitti craftspeople remains typical of the period and true to original techniques, being crafted from rich cherry wood. 

Traditional English movements are assembled and finished entirely by hand. Solid brass forms the gear trains, and remaining parts are gold- or rhodium-plated to lend the perfect finish that will retain its luster for years to come. Comitti’s craftspeople draw on age-old principles while incorporating modern technology to improve both the design and construction of their heritage clocks. Skeleton and rolling ball clocks are monuments to engineering and design and feature a variety of finish and base options. Innovations reduce wear while improving accuracy, and each handmade work is thoroughly inspected to ensure precision and quality.

From a grandfather clock’s Georgian style case to highly decorated wall, table, or mantel clocks and traditional “banjo” style barometers, each Comitti of London timepiece evokes a regal, sophisticated air. Detailing is superb, and modern features enhance and modify the clocks’ operation but never compromise their elegance. Top to bottom, inside and out, each timepiece from Comitti of London is a true work of art, an heirloom to be treasured by future generations.
