A bit more about John Walker’s work:
-
Origins and Early Work: John Walker was one of the most respected clockmakers of his time. He was born in the late 18th century and worked in London, producing clocks that were not only aesthetically pleasing but also exceptionally reliable.
-
Famous for Railway Clocks: He became especially well known for making clocks for use in railway stations.
