Charles Frodsham

Charles Frodsham & Co. is the oldest continuously trading maker of chronometers, with a history that goes all the way back to 1834. The brand was known for making marine chronometers, clocks, and pocket watches. While the name has been owned by different entities over the years, since 1997 it has been operated by Richard Stenning and Philip Whyte, with a workshop of seven watchmakers restoring timepieces and creating no more than 12 watches a year, just outside London. It represents a rare story of the continuity of a historic English watchmaking name.
