During the last to years Mark has designed and handmade a number of clocks for private collectors in the UK, Middle East and North America. Handmade clocks take years to and develop. Commissioned clocks including the case and dial design are all unique. These bespoke clocks blend into a single individual crafted timepiece.

Mark takes great pride in manufacture of his clocks to ensure the continuation of the high standards for which clockmaking has been renowned; from the birth of the pendulum to the Victorian precision timekeeping of the 19th Century. Mark takes great effort to incorporate design features from the architecture that will surround the commission so that they will complement each other.
