 | | 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. |
