A watchmaker and jeweller's shop with a very distinctive set of chimes. Old Father Time gets the big bell while the nations get a bell each. The shop has moved around a bit, the original building was demolished to widen the road (ironic now it is all pedestrianised) and in 1985 the business moved around the corner to its current site. The figures were first used in 1904.
