		In return for rigorous protection by the company from outside competition, the members had to submit to strict regulations concerning how they treated their customers, fellow makers, and apprentices, and the standards their work was held to.
		With the death of Cromwell and restoration of the monarchy in 1660, the golden age of English clockmaking was in motion.

		THE WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF CLOCKMAKERS OF The Clockmakers' Company is an active City of London craft guild or "Livery Company".
		This could be achieved through apprenticeship to a free Clockmaker, through redemption (purchase) or patrimony (the right of a child to follow a parent into the Company).
		Unlike some surviving City Companies, whose members are no longer drawn from the trade their Company nominally represents, the Clockmakers' Company includes a majority who are still involved in horology, whether clock making, watch making, designing, buying, selling, collecting, repairing, restoring, conserving or using for scientific purposes.
