Dr John C Taylor
Over the last 30 years, John C Taylor has worked tirelessly to share his love of clocks with as many people as possible, striving to give access to his rare and unique collection that, if in institutions, would seldom be working and could only be viewed from a distance. John has participated in ground-breaking exhibitions in the UK, Europe and the USA. These include: Horological Masterworks in Oxford in 2003; Huygens’ Legacy at the Palais Het Loo in Holland in 2004; Time for Everyone at the California Institute of Technology in 2013; Ships, Clocks and Stars, originally at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London in 2014, followed by displays in Sydney, Australia and the USA in 2015; also, Innovation & Collaboration in London in 2018 and solo exhibitions, The Luxury of Time at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh in 2019 and at the Manx Museum in Douglas, Isle of Man in 2020. In March 2024 he launched the Clocktime Digital Museum.
