Founded in 1740, Thwaites & Reed Clockmakers Ltd is the oldest clock manufacturing company in the world. The claim is rivalled by J.B Joyce, of Whitchurch, Shropshire, which declares to have been founded in 1690. Thwaites' claim appears to derive from George Buggins, last direct descendent, who reputedly saw drawings of Thwaites clocks dating back to 1610. For 30 years, it maintained all the clocks at the Palace of Westminster, including the Great Clock. Other than Thwaites & Reed, associated tradenames are Aynsworth Thwaites, John Thwaites. /Thwaites_&_Reed
