About the maker
Synchronome was founded in 1895 by Frank Hope-Jones where it was instrumental in the early stage developments of impulse clock systems. Their system enabled any number of clocks, otherwise known as slave dials, to be connected in a series and synchronised with electrical impulses delivered from a central master clock. They became common place in schools, factories, railway and other public spaces and many are still running in their original settings today. As a company, Synchronome remains in the Hope-Jones family and continues to hand make their clocks in a way that their original founder would be proud of.
