Specialist Spotlight

Alastair Chandler
Independent Horological consultant and specialist on the
BBC Antiques Roadshow
chandlerclocks@gmail.com
How did you start in the business?
My physics teacher got me hooked. He had been a watchmaker and after seeing his work, I enrolled in a course at the University of Central England to study the art of watchmaking and then the post graduate restoration and conservation course at West Dean College. I later became a clock specialist at Christie's before going freelance.
What do you specialise in and why?
I tend to specialise more on clocks and am particularly partial to carriage clocks. I have always found them fascinating as the movement is generally on display and they come in several case styles. My favorites have been by Breguet, Paul Garnier, Charles Frodsham, Dent and Thomas Cole.
What has been your most surprising find?
I was called to look at a collection of over 130 clocks, most of which had been bought from major London salerooms and were by well renowned makers. To find such a good untouched collection that’s been out of circulation for so long is rare.
What do you like most about your job?
Seeing a project through from beginning to end – the discovery, research and restoration of an item can be very satisfying.
