  Livery Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 107 Livery Companies are trade associations based in the City of London, each known as the Worshipful Company of the relevant trade or profession.
The Livery Companies originally developed as guilds and were responsible for the regulation of their trades, controlling, for instance, wages and labour conditions.
Among the earliest companies known to have possessed halls were the Merchant Taylors and Goldsmiths in the 14th century, but neither theirs nor other companies' original halls remain; the few survivors of the Great Fire were destroyed, along with many reconstructed ones, during the Blitz.

WORSHIPFUL COMPANY During a visit to The Clockmakers' Museum in London, I was impressed to read that many creators of the magnificent timepieces on display were members of The Worshipful Company of Clockmakers.
The words of Matthew Bridges came to mind: "Crown Him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time; Creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime." I was getting carried away when I noticed another document referring to The Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths, which didn't seem quite as inspiring.
A bit of research revealed that the old craft guilds or Livery Companies of London included the Worshipful Company of Bakers, Leathersellers, Carpenters, Launderers, and many others.

Blacksmith's Clock: The earliest big clocks were often made by flsmiths, parts being forged and fire welded.

During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries under control of the CLOCKMAKERS COMPANY, it became the world's biggest, employing 70,000 craftsmen, who invented nearly all improvements to timekeeping so that even today no mechanical clock or watch is made anywhere in the world without a British invention in it.
