Ian Smith, the founder of Clock Corner was born in Newton le Willows in North West England. An avid student of engineering and anything that 'worked' and needed maintaining and repairing, Ian was fascinated with the delicate intricacy of clock and watch movements. In 1970, Ian took an old family watch to a watch repairer in Wargrave, Lancashire.
This horologist, or clock repairer as they are more commonly known, was nigh on retiring having plied his trade in Wargrave for over 50 years, but was more than delighted to demonstrate his expertise and offered to train Ian to the standards we see demonstrated in Clock Corner today.
